Low Key Lighting- In comparison to Curtis being trapped in the boot of the car. Shows how dark and isolated the boot actually is. Also packed and pressed, confined space - 9Car SceneClose Up- Mirror hitting the mirror- implying that it's a catalyst to the story. Following Todorov's theory- climax has occurred

Shows he's always been on his own - 10Party SceneParallel Editing- Ricky at a party and back home there's a family party for him- shows a lack of awareness for what his mother has done for him.
Tracking- following Curtis around the living room, him serving drinks to the guest- accurate upbringing- shwos the contrast how Ricky was potentially brought up and how he's turned out. Sometimes it isn't about the upbringing however it's about the company they surround themselves with. - 11Gun SceneOver the shoulder shot- In the woods when Curtis is playing with Rio- showing that he's holding it as an adult but he's using it as if he's a child. Implies that kids within Hackney are growing up into criminals too fast.
- 12End SceneNon Diegetic Sound- Building up the way to him throwing away the gun.
Wide shot- Curtis throwing away the gun, suggests he's breaking this cycle of being trapped.
But is it? Curtis already is metaphorically is 'debt' with Rio. He's trapped just like Ricky was.
