The cinematography in football hooligan films usually involves a use of match-on-action heavily, especially within the fight scenes. This is used a lot as it improves the fight scenes by making them more intense as it seamlessly switches angles, this is used in tandem with fast paced editing all to improve the film and make the fight scenes feel more brutal and grounded in reality. A common shot used in these fight scenes to make them more intense is a close up, this is due to the raw detail and expression within the characters face as they're doing what they are doing.
Handheld camerawork is often common place within this genre of film as it becomes more immersive for the audience using this type of cinematography making it more intense and the whole scene more realistic. Here is an example of the handheld camera in action in a fight scene from The Football Factory.
Another common shot in football hooligan films are medium shots and long shots. This is so you can get a broad view of all of the carnage that takes place within these fight scenes and how many people are actually involved in them. I have also seen long shots used to show crowds at football matches in these films, this shows the huge amount of people that love this sport and have a huge passion for it.
