The next film I analysed was "The Football Factory". This film believe it or not could be considered even more violent than Rise of the Footsoldier. The opening scene starts with some up tempo music, which seems to be building up to a climax, with the image of many scruffy trainers marching purposely in one direction. The next thing I noticed was the rest of the clothing worn by the gang. There is burberry and a few smart jackets, but these people are still obviously violent, and the tracksuits and trainers give away their true nature. Then the fighting breaks out firstly by a teenager being knocked unconscious, and a gas grenade being thrown into a pub. Once people begin to make for the exit the gang charge and beat, stamp and kick anyone that comes out. Camera angles are used a lot in the fighting section of the introduction to show who has the power, and dominance. This is done simply by the more powerful of the fighters looking down onto the other, with the ones being looked upon generally being on the floor.
This shot of the film really shos the true nature of what the football factory is all about. In the forefront of the picture a man is being headbutted, and tens of people are scattered in the background, stamping, kicking and punching. This image captures the carnage of the film perfectly.
