London to brighton

London to brighton is a 2006 award winning British film. The film was written and directed by Paul Andrew Williams. The film opens with a non linear narrative as we see a woman and child, Kelly and Joanne, bursting into a London toilet. Joanne is crying and Kelly has a black eye. The use of the non linear narrative grabs the audience's attention in order for them to be intrigued to watch the rest of the film. During the opening of the film there are various close up of both the female characters faces this is to portray their faces and show the audience the extent of how physically hurt and bruised they are. It also leaves the audience wondering what has happened to them so it builds suspense and gets the audience at the edge of the seat. We can tell that Kelly is a prostitute as she needs money to survive on her own, the male character she comes across in the car is blurred out so it does not show his face. This connotes that he is a mysterious character and that he is doing something that he shouldn't be doing as well as her. The use of editing for the opening scene is fast pace to emphasise on the fact that the two characters are in a rush because they are in trouble for some unknown reason this gets the audience more involved and it creates tension. I have decided to focus on this film opening as it relates to my own in some way, the prostitution aspect of it ties into the opening of my own film and also the danger in London to brighton. The fact that this ties into my film opening is the reason why I have used the same production company on my own which is steel mill pictures.
