The Poster for the film confirms my expectations of the film, the use of dark colours and props such a a baseball bat connotes the content of teh film. The positioning of the characters on top of a building makes them seem in charge of the city. The cloudy grey sky above Sam suggests he is the enemy in the film. Whereas the sky is lighter above Trevor and friends making them look like the stereotypical 'good' guys in the film. However even the 'good' characters have darker elements to their lives.
The name, 'Kidulthood' is a play on the word 'Adulthood' (incidently Adulthood is the name of the follow on film). It shows how the kids of West London grow up into young adults.
