Kidulthood

Kidulthood is a youth drama with a sub genre of crime.
 The title credits are very shorts because it isnt a mainstream movie so it had little investment. 
  1. Hanway film
  2. Stealth films 
  3. Cipher films 
  4. a stealth film/cipher film production in association with TMC films 
  5. KIDULTHOOD 
No actors names are shown because they are all young unknown actors.
 The title sequence is all a moving imagine as it is based in the school playground where characters are being introduced whilst they interact with each other and say each others names.

This movie isnt mainstream and it independent as a big company such as Universal are not funding or producing it.
 The story line is introduced with a student handing out flyers to fellow students about a house party he is having whilst his parents are away. Within the introduction it is made clear that Trevor and Alisa use to date but had split up, Soon after we see a vulnerable girl called Claire introduced to us as she is getting bullied by another student for apparently being a virgin who is weird.

The main characters within the film are 
  1. Trevor 
  2. Alisa 
  3. Jay
  4. Sam
  5. Becky 
  6. Moony 
  7. Claire
  8. Curtis
Lenny

It is quite evident that the social group the characters are from is low income households.
The teens interaction with adults is very minimal in this movie which is evident with Claire because she does not tell her parents what is going on at school which leads to her having to take her own life.
