Peaky Blinders

Part 1 

• Here, the audience are given a reflected image inverted from a very calm puddle and the audience can only see a group of men walking slowly but aggressively towards us with leaving the light behind which could be symbolic for example it could mean that their "happy days" are in the past, this may intimidate the audience and the individuals at the destination that they are heading to. The flame also adds to the effect of 'evil' and 'anger'. However we cannot see clearly who these individuals and due to being a mid shot we can only see the upper body which leaves us in the "dark" of the lower body. The audience does not know if they are carrying anything.

Part 2

• The inverted reflection gives a sense of distortion to the shot, gives a surrealistic image of the men in black as they are about to bring 'darkness' to the scene. The effect of the still being unclear makes the audience wonder who the mysterious men are. It intrigues the audience and give a sense of suspense as well as foreboding. The flame in the background also adds to the creation of a violent 'atmosphere'

Part 3

• This specific shot shows the destructive power of the gang. The puddle, what used to be like a peaceful mirror , is now distorted by the brutal boots of the determined and angry gang.The low angle of the shot tells us their strong and powerful presence in which no one is dared to look down upon. The darkness which is present in this shot is due to the gang's covering the light with their black uniform.
