Attack The Block - Semiotics (SD)

The first scene is the camera looking up at the stars, this gives us a feeling that space or stars may have a key meaning or important role in what is going to happen in the film. The camera then starts coming down showing fireworks, this could then mean that the film or opening scene is set on bonfire night or some sort off other celebration. In the next scene there's a woman on the phone in the underground, this tells us that its set in London. The camera then follows this woman throughout the first couple off scenes as she appears to be walking home, By this time it shows us that this woman is a important character in the film or she's linked with a key event in the film. During this it tells us that it is made by/associated with Studio Canal, Film 4, UK Film Council and is produced by Big Talk Picture.
The woman then gets confronted by a gang of masked youth's and gets mugged, followed by a meteor or star shooting down out of the sky and destroying a car next to the mugging that was taken place, this gave the woman time to run away, and this is where we see the "monster" this film, as the gang ring leader got attacked by it. They then start to hunt the creature down and this is where the plot of the film starts.
