I will be comparing my main character, Bobby, to Noel Clarke's character 'Sam' from Adulthood. I think the two characters can relate together very well. Their lives within their individual story-lines seem to parallel.
Adulthood is a gritty British drama film which displays typical stereotypical views of the youth in London. Without even knowing, we had similar story-lines. Both the characters have left prison after being convicted of manslaughter. They both seem remorseful of their actions and both the characters come across some drama as repercussions of their actions.
In terms of Mis en Scene, both the characters are in the same type of attire, grey tracksuit top, trainers and baggy trousers. They both seem to have the same body language. They both come across as sinister looking characters but yet have a humble side to them. They both have a time to reflect during their journey home and seem to come across as remorseful and look as if they are trying to change their ways.
Our product represents a theme of British drama and allows certain audience members to relate. I found myself being able to relate to certain aspects of Adulthood which is what i thought was one of the main intent for the Adulthood movie. I felt as if the film was targeted to me and that's the same thing i wanted my product to do.
I think that even though there are so many similarities, there are also certain differences that make our product distinguishable from other British drama's such as the voice over and type of camera shots we used.
In my opinion we were successful in creating a good British drama whilst also changing certain stereotypical views.
