Director's Commentary

The Directors Commentary, done by myself and Leo Faulks, was an aural aid designed to assist the audience in understanding the narrative, in it we detail several parts of the narrative, use some comparison to theorists and explain why we used specific shots. In terms of Hall, it may sway audiences more towards the preferred meaning. With the insight we have into the making of the pop video understandably makes the pop video better off as it may come of more to the conventions we had originally set. It gives the audience some background to the narrative, for instance the differences between the two gangs, the gang signs and the fact that the ending is actually a take on real life, and how no conflicts of that nature seem to end. We chose Leo and I to record it because we were the ones who had been most actively involved in shooting and editing.
