T10 This is England, Textual Analysis
The movie this is england was made in 2006, but is based around the year 1983.
The opening credits consist of showing all the significant and memorable parts of the year. For example, The Faklands war, the minors strike, the famous computer game "godzilla", and the marriage of Princess Diana, and Prince Charles.
The film starts with the camera tracking along some nasty buildings with graphite all over, the title then comes up, and says "This is England" this gets across to the watcher what housing was like back then, basically, it was rubbish. Showing this, really gets across how some people were living.
The sound is music the whole way through, it is cheerful music which is pleasant to listen too with a good beat. It is called "54-46 was my number" written by the toots.
The clip has been edit in a way that it goes from happy times to violent times to memorable times to significant times. This show our country in positive and negative ways.
The clip keeps flicking back to Margaret Thatcher who was the then Prime Minister of the
country, it is almost like that she is being blamed on what is going on in the clip.
The editing in this clip is done so that you can see both sides of the persons view, so if it is a riot, you see it form the policemen side, and the rioters side, as shown below.
Rioters point of view
Policemen point of view
The clip is edited to see significant time frames, ie the lead up to the riot, the riot, and then the damage after the riot. The clip is also edited to fit to the music for example when the bomb goes off killing the terrorist the music pauses and a drum is hit. this signifies the bomb going off. This clip is edited to show you both sides of everything. By doing this it shows england in a fair representation. For example it is edited to show what women do, then to show what men do, and then a man and a women together.
The Mise-en-Scene in this clip is what tells the whole 80's story. By the cloths that the characters are wearing, it sets the mood, and helps tell the story. For example the men fighting in the Falklands are wearing army cloths, therefor we know they are in the army. As this clip is showing Britain, it needs to show the things in our country, ie sheep in the fields, the British flag, and the nasty looking houses etc, and that is exactly what this clip does, and what are all these things? well, they are Mis-en-scene, without these, the clip would be very different.
