Clip 1- sound
The diegetic sounds of the game they are playing creates an atmosphere of excitement. This makes you part of the game, the director has done this to make you feel like you are one of the kids. This is a technique used to feel for the characters and get you on their side from the start.
Next we have non diegetic which is used as a theme tune for the series you start referencing it and linking it to the programme.
Finally we have synchronous sound which links the game that they are playing, when mike says 'boom' and they all get scared this makes you feel like them and wha it was like when you were a kid. This is designed to make you think of what it was you did when you were a kid.

camerawork
the long shots that are used are designed show the kids are riding there bikes together and that they are a close group of friends. This puts you in that friend group and makes you feel for them.
next we have close shot of them when they are playing the game, this shows how serious they all are. This takes you back to the time that you would play with all your friends and would really get into it like your life depended on it.
the low angle shot shows that the mum is in charge and that she has power over what they do, this makes you think back to being kid and wanting to play for 5more minutes for someone telling you you can't. this makes you empathise with the characters.

Editing: The main editing technique used is cut, this is used to show the different camera angles around the room but also keeps the camera close to the kids to show any action that’s going to happen, this links in with fast paced editing that is also used, although there isn’t much action going on there is still fast paced editing used so they the board game feels more real because that’s how it feels for them this represents how they think and act, to them it isn’t just a game it is scary and they need to make quick decisions. Shot reverse shot is also used to show when each kid is talking but also cut from one over the shoulder shot to another.

mise-en-scene
The old fashion clothing is setting the scene when it comes to when it was set. This is because they really want to put the point across of how different they were back in them days. For example they had phones that needed wires and you cannot work and also they would smoke indoors that was very common. it is designed to show the contrast of how times has changed. It is also showing you what kind of characters they are. For example the police man pushes his teeth then has a drag on his fag and washes it all out with some beer. This shows that he is a broken man and that he has a lot of issues. This is highlighted by the fact his lives in a secluded and isolated area which symbolises that he likes to be alone.
