ATTACK THE BLOCK ANALYSATION

Youths intimidating, mugging from the beginning 

'Fuck the Feds man' 

Alien 

Killed alien and drag it round as an intimidating trophy 

'Fucking monsters' 

Become/be the stereotype they're given 

Do it to impress girls 

Role models to younger 'wannabe gangsters' (you gets)

Woman had only just seen the boys, not doing anything wrong and shouts 'you want me to call the police?' Emphasises the fact that they are already labeled as trouble makers 

When posh boy talks to the nicely they laugh in his face (children v. Adults enemies unless They're of their own kind like weed dealers)

Lead kid (Moses) put in his place by higher ranked older gangster told to 'start selling white... You're my boy now'. 

Animal Chanel foreshadowing about the moth 

Moses and dealer juxtaposed

Stereotypical chav with staff and moped

Feel empathy because the dogs killed and you see that they're not emotionless 

Blue teeth = blue glow (chronicle)

Soon enough the gangsters looked at as bad and trouble have turned into freedom fighters

 Sarcastic 'my fucking hero' foreshadows that she'll mean it later

He wants her to do something kind by asking her the wrong way 

Moses still protects everyone still 

They don't see what they're doing as wrong 'what do you mean you don't like the area?!'

Wanted to get away from them completely now doesn't want to leave their side 

Gets a feel of a 'normal day in the ends'

Moses opinion on government planning it (like in chronicle)

She saved him from the alien 

Realisation that it's all his fault (Moses)

Throughout film youths feel let down collectively 

Block look out for each other no matter what age 

Feels empathy for Moses after he Saves her and she sees his living conditions and his age

Lift where high hats was he Moses comes out the lift (juxtaposed)

Chronicle Analysation for half term essay

CHRONICLE ANALYSATION 

Andrew typical American geek with cooler friends to pity him

Were the all American dream teens, being good, you empathise Andrew as he's badly treated at home and bullied

Everyone's better than him at everything

Finds supernatural hole with blue lighting (blue representation)

Discover levitating powers

Andrew better than Matt and Steve 

Andrew makes building out of Lego all happy and friendly, foreshadowing the opposite will happen 

'Doing more' foreshadowing he'll go one way or the other (good/bad) but doesn't say anymore 

Uses telekinesis for fun and pranks as friends (causes unhappiness for receiver, beginning of the bad)  

Andrew pushes mans car into river, 'doesn't understand why they're so angry' (states beginning of the change)

Matt sets rules, if Andrew was going to use telekinesis for good then he wouldn't have a problem for this but he says 'you can't just set rules'

Flying and Andrew saves Steve from dying foreshadows the opposite will happen next time (Andrew indecisive on whether he'll be good or bad)

When Andrews talking to his dad there are two huge robots fighting in the middle of a city (foreshadowing what will happen between Matt and Andrew) 

'This is the beginning of your downfall, hubris!' Well, self explanatory. 

Embarrassment, anger, becomes his dad

Sees how easy it is to kill spider 

'You're an embarrassment' 

Dad beats Andrew, Andrew fights back hard, beginning of his violence. 

Andrew in storm, like his anger created it, turns against Steve in storm, Steve died hit by lightening. 

Andrew turning into villain. 

Andrew and Matt switch roles, Matt would've been the mean one 'jock' now Andrews the mean

Apex system 'lion does not feel guilty when it kills a gazelle.. And I think that means something' believes he is a strong lion, not to be messed with and that he should be able to hurt or kill people without feeling bad *crushes car* 

'Im stronger than you Matt' 

Andrew thinks he's beating people for good as it's for his mums medication and he beat the bad guys 

Then robs and beats up a gas station and old man and blows up gas station 

Mother dies even though the dad never seemed to care about her before he blames his not being there on Andrew even though he's on his death bed

Andrew blows up the room 

Andrew goes on to destroy city soaking up the attention 'you're weak Matt you're weak, I'm stronger than all of this'  'I'm an Apex predator' 

Andrew animalistic qualities 

Matt has to kill him in order to save the city he tried to make Andrew stop but he couldn't 

Matt has to fly away from home and start life again as they'd never believe that he wasn't doing bad like Andrew, leaves camera in Andrews place he wanted to go when he was innocent in Tibet 

ONLY PART OF FILM NOT SHOWN THROUGH ANDREWS, MATTS, HIS GIRLFRIENDS OR SECURITY CAMERAS WAS DURING THE DESTRUCTION OF CITY.
