A well organised, articulate and focused analysis which indicates your growing confidence with identifying and analysing how the director establishes genre in the opening to "Essex Boys".
When referencing another film in a case study it is best practice to include a comparative image or screen shot from this film. I have posted the following on other students' blogs: Next Step: To strengthen case studies either add another slide/s or another post titled “Intertextual References in Essex Boys”
For example: reference thriller films or TV series (preferably with screen shots or uploaded footage) that use or develop similar generic conventions. For example in “Essex Boys” noir lighting with a chiaroscuro effect (the establishing shots of Bily the garage) reinforces the generic roots of the film. Other examples you could reference, and don’t forget the films or TV crime dramas that you are watching independently. • “The Opening to Once Upon a Time in America” also uses noir lighting whilst the chiaroscuro effect is achieved when Eve switches on her bed side lamp.
• The iconic final sequences in “The Third Man” is another example where the director amplifies the genre with the use of chiaroscuro lighting when Harry Lime is trapped in the Viennese sewers.
• Tarantino also uses the same effect with Ordell murders Beaumont in the waste ground in “Jackie Brown”.
Thus the audience is transported into an isolated world where nightmares become reality.
Also think about comparing the generic locations, costume or character types with other thrillers.
