Adulthood is a 2008 British drama film. It was directed and written by Noel Clarke, who also stars as the protagonist, Sam Peel. Adulthood is a sequel to the 2006 film Kidulthood, which Clarke also wrote, and depicts Peel’s experiences after he is released from jail.
Six years after being jailed for killing Trife, Sam is released from prison. During the course of the film, it is revealed that Sam has changed dramatically and is not the person he was six years ago. He has learnt from his mistakes and is still haunted by his crime.
Production Company
Adulthood is produced by IFC Films; a production company that we have chosen to distribute our teaser trailer. Through my research into our genre, I've found that IFC Films tend to distribute teen urban/social realist films, making it appropriate for our trailer.
Mise-en Scene - Location
The mise-en scene used in this film conforms to common conventions of an urban film as it
is based in an urban area/inner city of London featuring shots of council
estate and ‘chavs’. The trailer shows iconography of London such as
undergrounds, hammersmith station and red buses.
Titles
The titles are in bold which is commonly used in urban films. The titles tells us the storyline and creates a sense of enigma.
