"City of God"

This film is set in the mordern day and then falshbacks to the sixties. The country in which the film is portrayed is Brzail which we know beacause of the non-diegetic sound played at the beginning of the film. It is established to be set in an urban area which we can see beacause there is a lot of people about in the town. I understand Rocket is the main part because voice over is used with him telling the story. Shaggy is also another main part because there is a parellel storyline going on between the two characters which leads up to them both in the same storyline where they meet. The film starts of with a black silent background which then changes to a foregrounded sharpening process of a knife in a close up shot which provides impact to the film straight away. Quick cuts are used to create the emotion of confused and tense, this also helps us to get a glimpse of their chaotic lifestyle. Determined dark music is played when the chase is happening which suggests death could arise.
