green street analysis

Is the genre established? What is it?
No within the first two minutes you don't understand what the genre of the film, but from your own knowledge if you have watch this film you would know it is an gangster genre film with British realism involved. The opening of the film give no hints or clue to what the genre is.
How is the genre is the genre established? What conventions?
We don't find out what the genre is from the opening but we seeing that he is moving from one country to another then swaps some money other he is has some important role.Also from the voice over within in the airport he is at it is an British airport.
What else does the audience find out from the first two minutes?
We find out that is moving as he had nothing to keep him in his own country that maybe he is starting out fresh. We also found out who the main character is as he is the only person in the camera shots. as he is alone and he is in an airport we start to think why is he leaving is he running away from something or is it his own choice?
How do we find this out?
The fact he is moving by himself either give us the conclusion that he has no family or friends that wanted to come with him or he is going over to visit some family. The main person within this two minute clip we assume he is the main character as there is only him that we see within the shot as we as the audience we as sort of following this character move and watching where is moving to. When we see the man exchanged his money up we assume that money shall be a key factor within this film as we as the audience have a zoom in close up to how much money he has and what his exchanging up. Also we known the character is originally from America as he has an American accent as later on within the clip we here him narrate what he is doing this makes us think he is the main character.
