What representation of young people in London do we see in the opening of Kidulthood

We see a negative and over-exaggerated representation of young people in London as we see different type of daily reality’s happening all crammed into one scene of the opening which is over exaggerated as not all of the situations which took place happen at the same time this therefore explains the fast pacing movement of camera and edits fitting all the young people into once scene.  

Is it a fair representation?

I don’t think that the opening scene is a fair representation as it portrays all young people as stereotyped to fit into their label of negative. As we see working class young people all fighting, swearing and arguing throughout the first 10 minutes of the scene. Whereas, it is a fair representation as we see all teenagers hanging around talking and gossiping before lessons.

Is it a good example of verisimilitude?

This is a good example of verisimilitude as what audience expect of young people that is what kidulthood has put together as young people are seen as violent and damaging creatures using slang over and over again which shows that as an audience we accept that this film is true to life as these are various things we see young people do and it contains true facts about young people in London
