The opening scene is filmed by a camera phone to give the effect of urban youths, showing what the gang get up to and what sort of people they are. This helps to set the scene and the violent manners of this group. The first thing we see is the use of drugs within the gang. This furthers our earlier point of them disrupting the local area and surrounding people. The setting is in a dark underground walkway with graffiti all over the walls implying there thugs. The use of guns is obvious in the opening scene as they show their guns off with pride and power.
We then see a couple of the gang on a motorbike, they are in a very aggressive mood, they are shouting and screaming. They are terrorising the local area. We see them ride across a local green, here they ride up to a woman and a child, they begin to circle her and fire their gun at her, it appears they dont want to hit her, it seems that they are doing this to intimidate the local people but they then hit her in the upper body. In shock they ride off as quickly as they can, on their escape route they cross a road and are hit by a lorry. This event shocks us, which makes a very powerful opening and from this moment onwards you know that the film is going to be full of action and violence.
