Version 2 of 'How does the film ATTACK THE BLOCK represent young people?'

How does the film ATTACK THE BLOCK represent young people?

In this essay I will be explaining how ATTACK THE BLOCK represents young people.
The film features a lot of young people. They show the young people in a different/negative way. This is shown by them robbing people, pushing people on the floor, and ignoring people that are older than them. Another way of showing them negatively is mise en scene. For example the teenagers usually have scary locations so if anyone passes by they would steel their money, wear hoodies to cover their faces, motorbikes to run away from the polices.
They are also shown positively when they actually become the heroes by saving the block from the aliens. They are brave of fighting the aliens and sometimes the angles are at extreme close up to show that they are angry because one of their friends got killed. The camera angle was showing that Moses has a lot of power when the camera angle was on low angle shot.
The music gets fast when there is an alien to show the young people are very active. The genre is horror, comedy and action. The connotation is scary aliens, action, funny and blood.
