Boyz N The Hood

Above I have posted the opening sequence for Boyz n the hood. In the first section of the clip the word 'nigger' is used multiple times, even before any of the actors are shown. This word is used to show the bad treatment towards black people at the time in which the film was set. As well as this there are statistics shown on the screen on top of a black screen which are about the negative treatment towards black people. This as well as the word 'nigger' being used causes tension before the film has even properly started.

The shots which are shown in the first scene mainly long shots of the children, medium long shots and mid shots. This is used to get detail of the characters in the first scene.

The background is in a talking class, in the background sound you can hear creepy sounds such as squeaks and sirens, as though there is trouble in the area where they are. As well as this the amount of swearing in which the young boys say increases the amount of trouble which the area looks as though it has. 

While the telephone is occurring between the teacher and the Mum there is aggressive behavior occurring which is a fight. This explains why the young boy might be so aggressive himself because of what he is seeing around him. This could majorly affect how the boy behaves.
