Blood and Chips - Analysis

Short Film - 'Blood and Chips' by Ryan Phillips

This is a hugely racist short film that portrays the stereotypical view of white Londoners in Britain, in the media white British people are often portrayed as racist as it's there media representation.The short film is described as "A heat wave is bringing racial tensions to boiling point in a London chip shop." it's aim to make the audience disgusted and angry at the narrator and his racist views causing the audience to Judge the character as he judges others, it raises tension with in the audience as the topic represented is a highly sensitive as it's still an ongoing issue to this date.
The short film starts with the opening sequence introducing the audience to the creative minds and institutions behind the short film.
It's followed by a low angled establishing shot, revealing two key important prop items, the sign letting the audience know it's a fish and chips shop as well as the Zebra crossing which indicates that it is set in London. There are ambient sounds as you hear cars go by covered by cheerful music.
The next shot is a medium shot that shows many characters, you can see two mixed race children looking up at a sweating black man who quickly leaves, the white man bumbs him to him aggressively looking back with a spiteful, he's rude and blunt towards the Chinese behind the counter as his body language suggests, dropping the coins on the counter. He assumes that the children are the black mans by the way he interacts with them. The Chinese man behind the counter breaks the representations created by the media as they are stereotyped to work in Chinese shops as Fish and Chips is seen as a British creation. He looks angry at the arguing children as the man sitting down tells them to shut u he looks pleased and compliments him showing further hate against over nationalities, this gives the impression that he's a spiteful man making the audience not like him, and hate his whole attitude feeling resent towards the character.
He sits down next to the man as he smiles revealing bright yellow teeth he says "This neighborhood is going to the dogs" implying blacks he misinterpreted the man with newspaper description of the children by calling them animals, he meant that because they are children not because of there skin colour as he's also mixed race, something that the white man does not consider.He gets out an empty pack of fags, showing the audience at eye level, making the audience feel as if they were on the table with him, this aggravates the audience further as they listen to his opinion on black people.It makes the audience want  to stop as they feel like they are there but are unable to causing there hatred for the character to rise, he comments on the other characters yet the audience see how he conforms to British stereotypes with his unattractive yellow teeth, smoking habits, and racist views.
