9 key frames descriptions

1-George and his dad walking through the field, carrying bags.
(medium shot, from the front)
Meaning of the image is the contrast between George, wearing his white robe and stereotypical muslim gear next to his dad wearing a west ham kit, embodying british culture.

2- Dad and land owner talking, laughing smiling, whilst in the background, we see george walking away, looking over his shoulder nervously.
(medium shot, George positioned on the far left whilst the dad and land owner are positioned on the far right. )
meaning of the image is to show that the dad, who embodies british culture, familiarises with the land owner who shows similar patriotism, he wears a british badge or a poppy. Shows to the audience that the land owner is going to conflict with George.

3- George digging with his toy spade, bomb resting on the bag, bags open on the ground. Landowner walking over far distance in the background
(medium shot from the front
Shows ludicrousness of terrorist plot.

4- George hiding toy spade behind him as the Landowner looks curious
(medium shot from behind george, so we can see his spade, whilst the landowner points at his bag)
Shows terrorism trying to hide from english authority.

5- The landowner grabbing george by his robe and holding the bomb, look of fury on his face
( close up of the two fighting)
shows englishman prevailing over terrorist threat.

6- Shot of the dad setting up a tripod, holding his camera, whistling. in the very far distance, we can see the george and the landowner struggling. he has headphones on and can't hear them.
(medium shot of dad on the far right whilst we see the fight on the far left)
this image shows a symbolic image. Englishmen turning his back and unaware on the terrorist threat happening in clear view behind him. reflects modern day theme of people being unaware of terrorism and it's status as a taboo. People either don't talk about it or confront it straight away like the land owner.

7- landowner on phone calling police whilst dragging george behind him, george cant get up because of his sandals. in the background, there is a shed.
(medium shot of the two of them from behind.)
meaning is shed resembles prison, englishmen taking terrorist to prison.

8- we see the two people standing in the doorframe of the shed, visibly shocked at what they have seen.
(low angle shot of george and the landowner from the front.)
meaning is that this image sets up the next one.

9- we see Anders, the actual terrorist, with his compost bomb, and knife on the desk, looking awkard, not knowing what to say.
(room darkly lit, medium shot so we can see his costume.)
shows an actual lone wolf terrorist, giving a dark sense of irony that by planting a bomb, George has inadvertently exposed an actual dangerous terrorist, making george the british hero.
