Migrain

M-the setting is 1983, area is Nottinghamshire, shows the not so priviledged sides of the area, but also what the 1980's where like, with fashion trends. characters, white male protagonist a 12 year old boy shaun, shows how image is important at school.

I-ideologies of white people as a whole (country/groups) also white people as individuals. racism very big issue. however the issue of skinheads which originated from black people later on taken over by the whites is brought up. which shows irony, as one character is complaining about other races taking over thier country. Males growing up without father figure. women minor roles in this film as the issues do not concern them.

G-British film (racism and violence)

R-of males growing up in england. coloured people living in England during the 1980's when racism was hugely present. parents attitudes. females. England. war.

A- this film is targeted to teenagers as it involse and raises issues that the BBFC thought teengaers should be aware of. it appeals to a young audience as the characters represent young rebels and are involved in binge drinking, smkoing and drugs which are a reflection of what teengaers are assosiated with.

I- the film was produced by Turgoose a new producer who won the best prize for newcomer. the film was rated 18 but after a review it was decided that younger teenagers hould be able to watch the film to be aware of racism and toerh issues raised in the film.

N-the text follows a 12 year old boy who after being bullied at school falls into a crowd of skinheads. he is liked by all, but becomes apart of the uprising in white nationalism due to a personal heartache. the text explores racism as a main issue alongside nationalism for England. the soundtrack of the film is ironic as is the fact that the character leading the uprising against minorities is a skinhead a trademark black people brought to england.

H-1983 set in the 80's when racism was a big issue as well as the uprising of white nationalist against margret thatcher..."do you consider yourself to be british or jamaican"
