This is England Film Poster Research- Emma Robertson

Representation

• Misfits of British society- backed against a fence
  
• Low working class area/ deprived area
• Mixture of ages, gender and ethinic groups
  
• The women in the poster seem very independent and 'not very glamourized'- social realism quality showing through
• Some males look quite violent from their skinheads and body language- criminals? deviants?
  

Genre

• Social realism quality purely shown by title THIS IS ENGLAND.
• Represents England as the colours suggest this as well red, white and blue
• The flats in the background suggest these characters are from an estate
  
• Very concrete and metal suggesting these characters have no escape from reality
  

Narrative

• Escapism
  
• Criminal activity
  
• Relationships
  
• Racism?
• Betrayal
  
• Hurt
  
• Loneliness
  
• Community
  
• Teen life

Audience

• Would appeal to the 16-24 yr old male audience due to violence, drugs etc
  
• Looks very gritty and violent film
  
• Maybe mature grown men would enjoy this film as it has an 18 certificate
  
• due to low budget film, it is recognized from winning awards due to its realism and authenicity.
