9 SHOTS FROM MY TITLE SEQUENCE AN 9 SHOTS FROM 'THIS IS ENGLAND'

• They are both set in England (hence the name) however, there are establishing shots of common areas in England that allow the audience to establish the location
• The titles fonts are very similar, especially the film title and, they both go on top of the establishing shot
• The actors name in This is England appear over the characters, although in the cycle they appear on a blank screen however, we are introduced to main characters in both films.
• The close ups signify particular characters because they are the most important e.g. Elias and the girl and guy kissing in This is England
• Both films have the editors appear after we are introduced to the characters and after the editors both films have the producer/executive producer appear.
