Reflecting you are growing more confident with identifying and explaining how the director uses generic conventions to amplify meaning.
I suggest you watch the clip again because on slide 8 you say Billy's clothes are muddy. It is not Billy lying face down in the water but the guy who grassed on Jason. Remember Jason beats him up, throws acid in his face then forces him into the back of a white van.
You need to link your analysis closely to the conventions of genre. For example in the slide where you have uploaded the establishing shot you could add a caption about lighting:
Winsor (director) uses chiaroscuro lighting in the establishing shot thus immediately establishing the genre of the film whilst creating a sense of menace and isolation.
How to strengthen case studies by either adding another slide/s or another post titled “Intertextual References in Essex Boys”
To raise grade make intertextual references For example: Reference thriller films or TV series (preferably with screen shots or uploaded footage) that use or develop similar generic conventions. For example noir lighting with a chiaroscuro effect (the establishing shots of Billing in 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 have and 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 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.
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.
