Required short films- tight jeans

 1st impression of title- comedy about teenage girl

Characterisation and dialogue:

Dialogue is written very realistically, comically, fast-paced and with realistic South London vernacular

Characterisation is clear- dumb one, smarter one ect. 

Characters wear different colours of the same hoodie and jeans uniform- part of the same social tribe- tight jeans kid and tight shirt man are part of different social tribes

Heavy subject matters- sexual politics, slavery and racism- discussed in a light-hearted way, in a mundane story and setting (shot on location)- more effective- mix of comic and thoughtful- "we basically populated this planet bruv", slavery's sexual component, white mother's tokenised mixed children

Very simple cinematography- mostly one long take in long shot, panning from side to side- transitions to CU when "that's why they made us slaves innit"- shows shocked expression of friends, conflict between their views
