• Borrows techniques from documentaries to emphasise realism. Eg. one boy looks into the camera
• Gives a feel of observation
• There are natural sounds in the background
• There are lots of shots of children playing in the street which the camera man has just shooted to add the feel of realism.
• Also shows the children playing in the street to tell the audience that they are working class people.
