It has classic start middle and end, there characters are established very quickly; the main women was an offensive racist old lady with very traditional norms and values the male lead is a passive and easy going black teenager.
There was a lt of low angle shots of the black man and I think his would have been to make him look like the 'better' person out if the two as the women yells abuse at him. The personalities are made very clear and the camera angles help. The young people at the begging flirting and joking could symbolise the way young people in this generation don't have a problem with people from other countries etc whereas the old woman quite obviously does because of the different times they were brought up and how society has changed. Most short films have the comedy genre and this short film relys on that one comedy moment.
Mise-
-costume links with characters very closely along with their personalities.
-His clothes are laid back and link with his ethnicity and stereotype
-facial expressions showed emotions a lot like when the lady smiled at herself a couple of times like she's pleased with herself
-it's like you saw the whole thing through the eyes of the guy on the motor cyle as he had no real reason to be there and you weren't seeing it through the eyes of one of the two main characters
Sound -
- non dialectic sound was used to make the scene look busy and bustling
- when the main character steps onto the train everyone turns quiet which is a contrast to what had just been, this is probably to show people thoughts (especially the old lady) that people stop and state when someone of another race appears almost like their judging.
- jazz music may be to link with the old lady meaning it was taking you back in time, along with people's views like the nazis from ww2.
- most sound was mainly diabetic of her voice making her sound powerful and controlling, almost brain washed.
- everything seems serival when she mentions something about 'Aids', this could be because people may have agreed up to this point then when she went too far no one knew what to do yet everyone was getting angry. The zooms on people reactions showers their facial expressions and it was almost like they were talking with their eyes.
Editing-
-long shots on woman (panning shots)
-low angle shots used a lot to show who is in the right and wrong
-camera following the train as if it's following the story
-point if view shots used a lot to tell what people were thinking endeared of duo dilougue along with shot reverse shot
