First shot

The dark, noir lighting suggests a creepy feeling which adds suspense to each mise en scene.
The fact that Jason Locke speaks with an essex accent makes the audience realise that he is not an upper class member of society, he is a kind of "Jack the lad" character. This links the the title "Essex Boys" which gives the sense of the characters being cocky, masculine and laddish.
The first shot shows a dark garage with cobwebs which shows claustrophobia. The voiseover is used to get the audience engaged. So it is like the character is personally talking to each person in the audience.
The shot of Jason Locke through the window of the car shows distortion of Jason Lockes reality as the window is dirty and grubby.
The shot of Billy in the front of the car with the lights across the window connotes the lights as prison bars and a sense of Billy being locked in to Jasons shifty agenda. The fact that a few of the lights on the window are red immediatley shows danger.
