Although we picked particular costumes for our opening sequence's scenes, this is an analysis of how these costumes link to the themes and atmospheric feel of the movie. The yellow Nike football kit represents life and vibrance as the colour also represents the main protagonist's happiness to be rising to the top in the football dog-eat-dog world and this also contrasts the other recurring themes in the opening sequence. Furthermore, the fact that this particular costume features the least black colour out of all of the costumes that are used in the opening sequence also emphasizes how the football lifestyle of Bradley Keano is distinguished from the two other lifestyles.
The costume also represents his potential since if he wore a jersey from a licensed team such as Arsenal or Manchester United, he would have already exceeded his potential and been at the top and it wouldn't have blended in well with the storyline at all as he would have already been a successful football star yet he would still be a notorious gang leader and also still taking his examinations whereas this football kit also hints at possibilities and outcomes that will occur later on throughout the movie such as him being so close to being in a team such as Arsenal yet his gang lifestyle would be a barrier or the fact that he IS in Arsenal yet he may be kicked off of the team by the manager for his misbehaviour or may be told to leave the gang and focus on helping the team win the League otherwise he would be kicked off of the team for good. The possibilities are endless which is why this costume fits in perfectly with the style we are trying to go for with our film.
