Analysis of Kidulthood

The opening of this film is mainly focusing on a teenager who is being bullied by other students at her school. This is a very typical convention of a British social realist drama. It is filmed in a school which is a typical choice of social groups and cliques. There are many stereotypical types of people, for example girls that only obviously care about their looks all huddled together, boys in big coats all talking under their breath to each other etc. The girl who is being bullied looks like a very normal girl, which emphasises that anyone could be a victim. this is alot like our opening sequence, as Rosie is a normal girl who is being victimised for no reason. The actors have London accents which is an obvious accent for a British person to have and probably the first one that people think of. A boy is going round the school asking people to go to his party which is another typical convention of a British film, and a stereotypical view of teenagers.
