Ill Manors Title Sequence

The diagetic sound of the television and the Rastafarian ranting is used in the medium shot of the young street criminal.

The block white typography stands out from its background. The man is smoking in his room in front of the television suggests his lack of care for hospitality and connotes a lot about his character. 

This cuts to an over the shoulder shot of the T.V to show the audience what he is watching.

This gives the audience a very personalised view of the character and almost see things through his eyes. 

The next part of the opening sequence took a very different approach to what i have seen before. The camera cuts to a close up of the mans face. Then in a street tone the narrator speaks to the audience directly saying "Are you sitting comfortably". Further reinforcing that personal interaction the audience has with the characters. He then goes on to name himself the narrator of the film. 

This shot then cuts to a black out shot and then to a time lapse establishing shot while the narrators speech further continues. 

Further cutting to the main title. 

The lower case i shows that it it is in fact the letter i instead of l because of the typography used. This can also connote the lack of grammar that the characters featured may have. The block lettering establishes the title well as it is easy to read and distinguish.
