The film affects the audience by how the characters are represented. Combo is presented as very aggressive and controversial, he becomes a father figure for shaun although he isn't a good role model for him Combo introduces him to the 'skinhead' culture. Shaun is the protagonist in the film, he is a likeable character although he is taken down the wrong root by Combo. Woody who at the beginning takes Shaun under his wing after he is being bullied, becomes a father figure to Shaun but Shaun ends up choosing Combo over Woody. This shows the relevance of the characters lifes and how many people are fatherless and represents the way that hateful people can manipulate others.
The film affects the audience by the Mise-en-scene, when throughout the film there is no mention of where it is set this is purely to emphasise that there is no specific area where this film is set so shows that these problems are happening all other the country and not just in one area. The costumes are very appropriate for the time period in which the film is set and they are all appropriate for their social class ; hand me downs are stereotpyically used for working class
