Sight Codes and Conventions
The Sight Codes
and Conventions of Green Street are based on the conventions of crime and drama
genre. Depending on the cultural context of the film based around the football
firms in England. Stereotype includes alcohol, illegal substances, weapons,
murders, relationships, gangs, turf wars and social groups and social group rivalries.
This covers a
wide spread of codes and conventions this is where most films for example Green
Street following the conventions of their social group. Conventions following
the casual drinks on all occasions but will conventional stay within their
social group then mix with others. The main stereotypes associated with Green
Street which covers all of the above is conventionally followed by Football
Factory starring Danny Dyer which both is a case study of football violence and
male culture which results to crime.
Evidentially
football violence and alcohol is seen throughout Green Street and Football
Factory. In Green Street the alcohol conventions start when they have their
first drink at the pub where everyone meets and seems like they all get on
fine, from then on Yankee enjoyed him and wanted to continue in being a part of
the firm. The illegal substance is shown when the Van-Holden takes a
considerate amount of cocaine at the end of when Matt finally gets proven
innocent. The Weapons is presented to the audience with a big finale when the
two firms go head to head with weapons such as bats, poles, chains which leads
to a murder when things get to far and the brother dies for the major in
revenge. Relationships are changing in every scene for example: Yankee gets
closer to the social group, Bother, Pete’s right hand man pushes himself
outside the group gaining an attitude and rebellious emotions towards Pete. An
example of this is shown when after the first game Pete and Yankee go
elsewhere, then arrive back at the pub not long after, Bother openly says ‘I’m starting to wonder about you two, if I
didn’t know any better I’d say you were a couple of gay boys’.
·
Sound Code and conventions
The surroundings are specific;
every shot has a meaning including sound, which can be very important in film.
Sound enhances the actions from objects in a horror movie or in this clip,
physically by actors.
Sound can verify the space that the
protagonist has, for example in the clip Matt Buckner, who is the new arrival
the cam is in the view point of him as the protagonist. The character has not
got a lot of space, however if you wasn’t looking at the film you would know
because of the environment sound. I think that sound is done by Stereo because
I know audio speakers have natural hearing that come from different areas at
once.
I think that the sound of the men singing the football song and
the dialogue have used three different types of sound methods. The song I think
is recorded by Live sounds used by a boom mike. 14 seconds into the clip
Dialogue begins and I think this has been added in because as the guy who
speaks first is actually louder than the men singing/shouting. This method is
called ADR adding it in the post production from an audio studio. However I can
definitely conclude that this specific scene uses Ambience sound throughout to
enhance the purpose of this scene. West Ham United football club is every man’s
common hobby in the pub, connecting as a unit of football fans/hooligans.
Ambience also represents the character as a whole for example, as the others
who surround him were more in their comfort zone than he was. I think this
because the sound is not focused on him anymore, its focused on the fact he
isn’t jumping about and he remains laid back with his new crowd. Creating a
realisation of what the protagonist wants which brings us back and relates to
the plot of which he may lose what he wants and gets what he needs.

NARRATIVE PRESENTED TO A VIEWER:
Narrative is based on the protagonist wants and needs, described as
structural framework of a character by the order controlled by his ambitions.
Order of which is presented to the viewer purposely to create an image. *ON POWERPOINT*
START WANTS: He
Wants to be a Journalist, however is afraid of the losing his career, with no
back bone. vanholden, whose name has a good reputation in relation of
journalism takes advantage.
START NEEDS: A
Father who understands, when in the past his father were so intent and focused
on his career more than his son. I know this because he admits it by confiding
in his sister as to why he hasn't told his father he'd been kicked out of
Harvood by being accused of possession of illegal substance known as cocaine.
MIDDLE WANTS: The new character of the Yankee Want’s to find
himself, 'growing stronger' he says. To let go of the uptight under pressure of
becoming a journalist. The thrill of feeling untouchable grew on him.
MIDDLE NEEDS: He
needs support at home, He moves out when starting to get friendly with Head boy
also known as major’s brother, major who is his brother in law of the west ham
firm. On the other hand his father who takes him to the Journalist building,
thinking he can win over his son's emotion towards him. 'you think by taking
me to the News building that, you think everything is going to be ok?!' he
says.

NARRATAVIE TEXT STRUCTURES ARE THE PLOT AND SETTING
SETTING - How it
changes by the wants and needs, Plot changes setting by the yankee putting
himself in danger.
START: At the start the settings were
at a university, showing the audience his capability and achievement. He is
forced to move to his sister’s house and within a day he urges to move out into
sleeves because after the day out to the pub and football game he enjoyed the
environment including the fight he were involved with.
MIDDLE: Setting changes from the start to continuous drinking in the pub and
hanging out with Steve, Matt realizes he must lie to Pete and the hooligans of
what he were studying 'history' however Steve and the Major was already aware
that his dad were a journalist.
END: Setting changes from the middle to the end when things get serious.
Starting by the scene of the pub when the rivalry attack from Mill wall and the
head boy stabs the major in the neck with a glass bottle. He is rushed to
hospital and Brother Steve decides to settle the score by arranging a fight.
Green Street is a linear production however is set as a time period based
on true events directed by Lexi Alexander, based on her own experience in her
brother's firm.

How Camera, Mise en Scene, Lighting and Slow motion is
used in the film.
I now will be discussing Big Momma and
Haunting in Connecticut two about the relationship of sound and picture.
**Continue Reading powerpoint**
Sound and image
experience
The sounds
being experienced are home devices using ambient and Foley sounds of every day
little sound you would hear. This is important because a comedy drama you must
introduce the lifestyle. An example of this is when Malcolm who is undercover
impersonating as Big Momma in the kitchen cooking a lovely breakfast for the
family. Pots, pans, meat sizzling and the oil he pours on to the pan. The sound
enhances the actions of the character, impacting on the relationship between
sound and vision compliments each other creating a realism effect.
Sound and Image
experience
The sounds are
being experienced as cinema devices by diegetic sounds to enhance the
suspension. The impact of the relationship between sound and vision is
important; in order to make a horror movie you must play with emotions. Whether
it'll be an sympathetic, blood rushing emotion. An example of this is when the
Station master comes towards the mother in the secret room. This impacts on the
emotions make you feel the urge to help the venerable women.
