Bullet Boy Analysis

Narrative: The narrative of the movie bullet boy is basically about a man who is recently off parole attempting to straighten out his life with a lot negative results happening to him. While on his way home from prison with his friend Wisdom a wing mirror is hit off of another gangster’s car by Wisdom who refuses to pay for it. Ricky played by Ashley Walters hides a gun in his room which his little brother Curtis finds.

As far as the propps theory is concerned in this movie Ashley Walters is seen to be as the hero as he is trying to get his life back on track. In addition, his lover/ girlfriend would then be the princess which leaves Ashley’s Walters mum the donor in which she tries to help him with his life. This also leaves the Ashley’s Walters friend to be the helper and obviously the villain would be the police as they try to come down on him like a tonne of bricks if he steps out of line.
Setting:

Setting:The setting of this film can quickly be established by the target audience because of the rundown council estate houses. This setting shows us that the characters and the way that they live their lives can reflect on their homes and the way that they are living. Because of the setting of this movie is predominately near council houses this illustrates that the working class that can relate to this sort of settings is D/E. Stereotypically, the use of propps can be again understood from the low working class as they might understand where the characters are coming from take it on board.

Characters: The characters in this trailer are perceived to be stressed, hassled and frustrated most of the time. The protagonist Ashley Walters is shown in this trailer and the movie is based upon him and in which he tries his upmost to fight against anyone and anything that gets in his way. Another key character in this movie would be the child who is seen to be in precession of a fire arm which tends to catch the targets audiences eye because of his age.

Iconography: The iconography that I chose is the council estates buildings shown in the trailer in the first few seconds of the trailer in which not only the working class can relate to but also the target audience that also might live in council estate houses.
