Human Traffic


There are similar shots at the begin which creates a negative affect of the youths. The close-up of each character as they a being creative only shows the negative side of the getting drunk or high but not working or doing something rewarding to them.

The uses of drug shows that they are trying to escape from any stress around there workplace or in some cases the education. This still has a negative effect although they are using it for personal reasons they are also in a small clip using it to get pleasure this is shown when it is the weekend, when they are all in a club. Also when the young girl is working in a burger bar they are all doing the robot this doesn’t really show the stereotypical side of the youths culture.

The value of friendship is shown as they stick together as a group and if someone is in trouble they help out. This really co- notates Britain as the friendship within Britain is very close.

This film is British to only because they had placed the national anthems music in a small clip but written there own lyrics over the top. To me this really reminds me of the royal family and England itself.

The main shot that stood out to me is the close-ups showing each character. This is very affective towards the audience as the audience can gain a rapport with the characters and get a better understanding of what they are like and how they act in society. However this is not very positive as it shows then either getting high, drunk or rebelling, this will have a negative affect on the children as they can pick up on the behaviour this is know as the Hypodermic syringe model.

  1. Well done, Toni.

    Think about your explanations:
    "Also when the young girl is working in a burger bar they are all doing the robot this doesn’t really show the stereotypical side of the youths culture."

    The robot scene is a joke to emphasise working in boring jobs, which they're 'forced' into. This leads the characters to reject that culture (temporarily) and look for a solution elsewhere...
