Some more Key Words!

A
Actuality - showing events as they actually are.

This is something that I will be taking into account while doing my study because its what my question is based on (the actuality of football hooliganism in Green Street).

M
Moral Panic - Public feel a threat by the behaviours shown on screen.

The topic of football hooliganism is very threatening to the audience it occurs in reality and will help me to look further into this.

A

Archetype - Often repeated character type.
The character of Pete is very common in reality as well as in movies concerning hooliganism as he is the alpha-male and strong-minded. His decisions drive the group in the film.

B
Binary Opposition - Two opposing characters in a text.
Both firms are headed by two leaders who are against each other. This is useful because it reflects real life oppositions.

D
Disaster Movie - A movie that goes from equilibrium to disequilibrium constantly.
The movie 'Green Street' has a lot of disequilibrium's rising from states of normality and this is how the reality of the football firms are.

E
Empathy - This causes the audience to sympathize with characters.
The film has a lot of times when the audience sympathizes with the situations the characters must face. I can use this to explore the sensitive sides to hooligans in reality.

H
Heritage film - Based on historical pieces.
The film 'Green Street' connects to the heritage of football hooligans from those before them. This helps me to see how this heritage changes over time.

P
Prejudice - Judging and having views on certain characteristics of people.
In reality people assume negative things about hooligans but I will look into why these prejudices are.

S
Subjective Shot - A shot that looks as though its coming from the character's view.
The film has many shots when the character of Matt is looking at the opposing side fearfully but then in the end his view changes. For example, 'Millwall' running towards him in the end but he doesn't care even though the subjective shot creates fear in the audiences hearts.

S
Symbiosis - Partnership between different people.
Pete and Matt are two completely different people but they come together in the movie to make a team together.
