Tight Jeans

Tight Jeans

Multiple shots of setting
Don’t see the faces of the characters for a long time

Excessively long OSS shot – increases ‘waiting’ sensation
Bright Vibrant colours stand out against dull environment


Characters kept anonymous, distinguishable only by clothes and position.
Conversation stemmed from ‘tight jeans’ lasts long time – no change in frame. However  camera isn’t stationary, pans from left to right and back again every time a new subtopic is started.

Change in frame/camera angle triggered by term slavery, a topic that carries weight in today’s society. Change in frame accompanied by a surprised ‘What?!’ by character in red, followed by an equally surprised reaction by character in blue.
Camera angle returns after slavery discussion.


Only Tyrone and Charlene’s name revealed to the audience – stereotypical black working class names. Fit directly with the setting of a council estate. Main characters however, are still kept anonymous, addressed as ‘you lots’ by Tyrone.
Charlene’s face never shown, only the sound of her voice.
Tight T-shirt walks by – whole thing starts over again.


Names finally shown during the credits
