The City of God starts with a knife being sharpened on a stone. There is some lively sounding music being played in the background along with food and drink being prepared and close up of carrots being cut and chickens being slaughtered. Suddenly one of the chickens had escaped and a group men chased after it with guns suggesting a violent theme in the film.
Towards the end of the film two kids appear and start to talk about a picture one of the boys has taken which has the potential to change his life, shortly after this the music changes and becomes more eerie as the boy is then placed between the gang and a large number of police officers, all pointing guns at each other. This could symbolise that the boy is torn between right and wrong, and also that he is the main character as he is the main focus in this shot.
