EDITED: How is location portrayed and used in Essex Boys to create and meanings and metaphors?

What could you learn from this thriller opening to use in your own film opening?

The location in Essex boys is used expertly to create meanings and metaphors which engage with the audience and portray themes and tones effectively. The locations used are not rare nor especially hard to get to and from this I can conclude that using common, bleak and uncared for locations in my opening can be an excellent way to make the themes and portrayals of meanings and metaphors more effective. By using typical, common British locations, themes of bleakness and darkness can be created as the audience recognise the scenario or location and therefore interpret the depression of those locations more effectively. Films such as Essex Boys and Alice Creed do this very effectively in their openings, using typical British locations to portray a grimy, British-gangsta tone to their films. By thinking carefully about the locations used, the opening of my thriller can be made very effective.
