What work is being done by the sound track/commentary/language of the text?
The music played on is digetic with every scene and with the whole text as well, because the music is 50cent's and which matches with his life, and 50 cent's sound tracks are mainly played on when he's involved in robbing or getting involved crimes.
the title sequence starts with a song of 50Cent and the locations are shown in the movie.
There is also a use of emotional music on sad scenes, e.g.: when 50 cent (Marcus) got shot nine times and was nearly going to die, so the music in there is emotional diegetic with the scene.
The actors in the movie are speaking slang amercian language,and the use of a lot of swear words in the movie.
What are the dominant images and iconography, and what is their relevance to the major themes of the text?
the most emotional scene is when 50 Cent is laying on the floor and struggling to stand up because he has been shot nine times.
What sound and visual techniques are used to convey meaning (e.g. camera positioning, editing; the ways that images and sounds are combined to convey meaning)?
Number of close ups to show emotions and what's the person feeling and there is also long shots to show the person as being the boss it shown when 50cent is shooting, there is a use of point of view shots to make the audience identify with the character.
