  2. The scene begins with a bare white hall, shrouded in shadows, bars of light shining through to represent the prison atmosphere of the borstal. Through the door emerges Carlin, his youth dismissed by his cold, brutal walk. One half of his body submerged in shadow he gives off the appearance of someone extremely intimidating, striding confidently down the hall he holds a fixated look of anger in his eyes, preparing the audience to expect some sort of violence or conflict between himself and a peer.

  3. The camera then follows Carlin down the hall and into a brightly lit games room. As he leans against the wall, observing the room, his silent calmness contrasting against the loud clattering noises and hustle among the boys give his character an extremely eerie feel, showing that at this point in time, he means business and should be feared. After a few seconds he walks forwards again, stopping at the snooker table, he picks up two balls and puts them into a sock. After sternly commanding the boys to carry on playing as normal there is a sense of fear and authority, hinting towards Carlins aim, to hold the superior authority within the wing.

  4. The camera then continues to follow Carlin through another door into the television room where the camera pans out to show the entire room. Carlin stands at the very back of the room where, as a new scene unfolds of two of the lads arguing, the audience feels a sense of anticipation for what Carlin is planning but also a sense of protection, thinking that Carlin had gone away for now and that the plot had swapped over. Suddenly, after Richards, one of the main antagonists, starts threatening Archer, one of the main protagonists, Carlin takes out the sock and smashes it round Richards head, all this happening extremely quick and unexpected leaves the audience quite shocked to the amount of brutality they have just witnessed.

  5. Up to this point in the scene it had all been one smooth camera shot, giving it a slow paced eeriness that added to the anticipation but after Richards fell to the floor the scenes became very fast cut to emphasise on the brutality of what was unfolding. After commanding the “grass” to come back, he kicks Richards several times in the groin. With a shot of some of the boys looking on emotionless it reveals the pure violence and brutality that the borstal is full of every day and gives the audience an insight of the harsh conditions the young men were exposed to, leaving them numb to events like this and leaving the audience with quite a disturbing image.

  6. The camera then cuts to outside the television room, seeing Carlin run out of the door with a determined look on his face. After putting the two snooker balls back on the table and jokingly telling the boys to carry on it reminds the audience that he is still the friendly protagonist they had been following throughout the film so far but was growing more into the leader role that he’d been working up towards.
