What was happening in Britain between 1948 and 1962
The British Nationality Act 1948 established the status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and those places that were still British colonies on 1 January 1949, when the 1948 Act came into force. However, until the early 1960s there was little difference, if any, in United Kingdom law between the rights of CUKCs and other British subjects, all of whom had the right at any time to enter and live in the United Kingdom.
Between 1962 and 1971, as a result of fears about increasing immigration by Commonwealth citizens from Asia and Africa, the United Kingdom gradually tightened controls on immigration by British subjects from other parts of the Commonwealth. The Immigration Act 1971 introduced the concept of patriality, by which only British subjects with sufficiently strong links to the British Islands (i.e. the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) had right of abode, the right to live and work in the United Kingdom and Islands.
1948 was only three years after the war, during the war many people from foreign country's came here for work as they were called upon to help as many British men had to fight for their country after the war however they stayed which angered many British people and sparked much racism between British people and people from countries such as Jamaica, the west indies and India.
How was the social Landscape changing
The social landscape in Britain had changed massively the Major way it had changed is down to the fact there were a lot more ethnic minorities coming to Britain which had big reprocutuions on Britain as it turned into a very bigoted country that did not welcome its new arrivals and see them as part of a new workforce but chose to single many ethnicity's out we see this in the films pressure and sapphire, in Pressure Anthony struggles to get a job even know he is incredibly intelligent and born in Britain and in sapphire the women pretends she is white for a better life style.
How did the change in landscape lead to a racialisation of British politics
One way the change in landscape lead to a racialisation of British politics one way the laws were more racialised was theThe British Nationality Act 1948 established the status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and those places that were still British colonies on 1 January 1949, when the 1948 Act came into force. However, until the early 1960s there was little difference, if any, in United Kingdom law between the rights of CUKCs and other British subjects, all of whom had the right at any time to enter and live in the United Kingdom. Also Between 1962 and 1971, as a result of fears about increasing immigration by Commonwealth citizens from Asia and Africa, the United Kingdom gradually tightened controls on immigration by British subjects from other parts of the Commonwealth. The Immigration Act 1971 introduced the concept of patriality, by which only British subjects with sufficiently strong links to the British Islands (i.e. the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) had right of abode, the right to live and work in the United Kingdom and Islands.
Representation works through construction how were black people represented in the film.
One way black people were treated in Sapphire was as social lowers to white people in the way that if we look at the black man Johnny he keeps saying "yes boss" to the police officers as if because they are white they are seen as racially better, another way is how the less senior police officer changed when he realised sapphire was mixed race he even goes as far as to say "you can spot them a mile off" however when originally investigating the case he was fine about sapphire and made no remarks about her also when sapphire's brother was black the shock that hit the police officers was humorous as it made him look like an alien or some sort of weird thing that they had never seen before.
Considering your research and film analysis-How does the film put across a sense of collective identity of black British people.
The films white characters are represented In the film as social lowers as even know they have better jobs and education they are to stupid to see through their racist ideas and values and assume all black people are not as mentally abled as them and that they are all the same you can tell this when one of the police officers Say's "you can spot one a mile off cant you" however this is not true. They also have this idea they are dirty and all criminals however most black people were only in Britain to seek a better lifestyle from their war torn countrys that Britain had destroyed during the war.

How has technology changed in the media over the last thirty
30 years ago cinematography and special effects were very different for one special effects 30 years ago were not CGI bases they were whatever the props team could put together to make look as realistic as possible for instance Godzilla or an alien would be a costume also explosions were not as big as today they were a lot smaller and more expensive as explosives were more limited and not as big and bold and believable as today. Also cinematography involved 35mm and 75mm cameras which are very expensive to use as the reel they use can cost up to 2000-3000 pounds. However even know are considered to be outdated are actually still used in some film production
s. 
s. 
These technologies have been revolutionised by digital technologies for instance. CGI has been revolutionised by newer computers designers for film can generate an entire fleet of ships for star wars that look so realistic you cant tell its not real or an entire world and people on it (James Cameron’s Avatar) it amazes us how far CGI has come for instance if a remake of jaws was to be made Bruce the model shark would be replaced by a computer generated beast that we could actually believe would kill. But it’s not all CGI as time has past everything has had technological advances for example explosives are bigger and better and look so realistic now a car exploding in a film actually looks and feel realistic as you watch as things like C4 plastic explosives and napalm have been made making it easier to make an explosion more realistic. Cinematography have come on leaps and bounds as digital cameras have been made allow arguments over the quality of the picture is not as good as 35mm newer cameras are being made in ultra HD however it is not just about the quality it is much easier now to send a film through any digital devise such as memory stick or satellite making it cheaper for distributors to send to Exhibitors so technology have made quality better for cinematography it easier to send or be received and cheaper.

Analysis of Se7en
Analysis of Se7en
Proximity
Morgan freeman apears to have a leader role when he asks the questions at the crime scene.
Brad pit follows Morgan Freeman so it shows he has authority.
The other police man is below morgan freeman you can tell this by the way he follows his question's and awnser's them.
The killer get's rid of the word intercourse to show he is an isolated person and a bit of a loner.
Morgan freeman walks slow and keep's the same pace to show he is calm and in control however Brad Pit changes speeds and is always trying to take the lead this shows how he wants to be at the top at all times and a leader.
The two character's are always trying to pass eachother as if fighting for authority.
Props
Morgan Freeman has all his objects in order as well as items which shows he is profetional and smart however Brad Pit is very scruffy looking and his badge is on his side making him look un-profetional.
The blood on the blind obviously is a gun shot.
Kid's picture on fridge helps us understand there may be a kid involved.
Morgan Freeman keeps his light's on to show he is scared of the dark and he has seen some horrific things.
Morgan Freeman has a metronome this show's us he has something to get away from this horrible place.
Colours
Black and white for killer so he may live in black and white to show his views your a victim or not.
It was brown in morgan freeman's flat they are functional colours show his pesonality and his items serve their function.
Lighting and location
The lighting in the beggining is dull and dark.
The location in the ally show's secracy.
The lights on in morganFreeman's room show's paranoid and identity.
At the murder scene it is dark and gloomy and look's scinister.
The rain created has a sense of forboding and clostrophobic it shows the real under-belly of new york.
