Shop robbery - We will use a wide angle shot as it can show the characters leaving the shop and running out of shot; indicating they have escaped. Moreover, there is room to show Sanjeev shouting at the boys despite them being out of shot, allowing a focus on his angered body language and facial expression.
Smoking scene - The brick wall background is typically associated with gangsters and fits well with the fact we are smoking a 'joint'. The background, along with the use of a wide shot allows for full focus on our tiresome body language from the 'joint' allowing the audience to achieve the full humorous effect from the scene.
Money falling - The background brings out the colour of the boys' black suits and allows them to be seen very clearly at the centre of the shot. Low angle shot connotes power, the mise-en-scene, body language, facial expression and use of money falling in slow motion also connotes power and that they boys are serious crime artists. The lighting was also perfect in allowing full focus on the boys and the money.
Leaving the house - Establishing shot (wide angle). The setting is important in conveying that the boys aren't living in the typical city environment where crime is expected. This shot is intended to create a juxtaposition between the characters looking serious, and setting looking harmless. The effect on the audience would be the realisation that the boys might not actually be big shot crime artists. Lots of natural light allows for the audience to take in every aspect of the shot, including the boys and the background.
Crossing the road - Establishing shot (wide angle). This shot will show the boys crossing the street, continuing the contrast between the environment and the characters themselves. We hope the frequent use of showing the characters walking with serious costume and expression would boost their self inflicted egos while showing that they are in reality just two 16 year olds. The use of a wide angle shot would also allow for space for some text on screen such as the writer or director. Moreover, the use of the road in the shot and lighting would allow for the text to be seen clearly and distinctly. I will use a white, bold text so it stands out against the grey background of the road.
Walking away - Wide angle shot. The boys will be shown with their backs to the camera walking away. This is to infer to the audience that they are going somewhere important; possibly their next big job. The fact they are in the centre of the screen along with their costume and style of walking shows how they are think they are powerful and professional. The location here focuses on the rural, village setting; showing how the boys don't come from the typical gangster environment. The effect of this would be humour on the audience and possibly confusion, which is effective as it will most likely draw them into the film which is a key purpose of any film opening.
