Camera:
- Long shots of everything, showing us the rural area and the conditions of what the children are living in.
- There is a zoom in scene on the  'stop' sign, this is done to create suspense and show the watcher what sort of seriousness is occurring.
- There is panning motion on a-lot of scenes, to show the damage dine when the death location is being shown, in the class room and when they are walking anywhere. The use of this is to represent what is going on in the whole image, and when it is a serious scene like where the death is being represented, this shows the seriousness by showing the whole location instead of just one small part.

Mise en scene:
- Typical high school setting, in America
- Hood area, urban and rural. Broken down and not an ideal area for a child to grow up in and fulfil their potential.
- Main setting is a shooting, and it is also mainly varies around this and nothing else is really shown around the area.

Sound:
- Off screen noises/ voiceover
- Light music with bad scenes, creating a mixed atmosphere to confuse the audience.
- Helicopter off screen, this resembles the idea of crime and reinforces the location and setting which these children are growing up in.
- Train off screen, showing they are close to it even know in a school, another sense of rural ness and potentially an unhealthy atmosphere for them.
- non-diegetic sound

Editing:
- Smooth transitions, contrasting with the shots and the area which is presented to not being smooth.
- Screen time, constantly on the main character, this gives an outline and an objective of this character and what they may potentially become.
- Smooth pace, this shows that its not jolty and not interrupted, meaning there is full focus on the scenes and not what the editing is doing.
- Transitions, smooth dissolve, represented as foreshadowing and what could happen later on in the film.
