The document analyzes the opening two minutes of the British realism film "Bullet Boy" to understand its key features. It notes that the film was financed by the UK Film Council and dialogue does not begin until 1:06. The main character, a young male prisoner, is shown in a bright white cell in contrast to the previous dark scene, connoting innocence. A long shot depicts the separation between the prisoner and police through a desk. His strong London accent is a convention of British social realism films. Cross-cutting is used between the prisoner and a male in a car to connect them and build tension.
Bulletboy
- 1. Bullet BoyI've analysed the first 2 minutes of "Bullet Boy" to pick out key features of the opening which I can use to develop my understanding of the concepts of British realism films. This knowledge can then be incorporated into my own work.
- 2. Bullet Boy was financed by the UK Film Council, which is now being scrapped by the government. Lottery money will now be given out to film makers through the BFI. ?
- 3. Dialogue does not begin until 1:06. The character we see is a young male wearing a grey hooded jacket in a prison cell. The colouring of the scene is very bright with the walls being white, which is a contrast to the dark scene seen previously. This connotates innocence. The scene centres around this male, which tells the audience that he is the main character.?
- 4. Here a long shot is used to show the division the desk hold between the police officers and the male. This represents a sense of inequality, suggesting the male feels separated from society. It is in this scene that we hear the male speak for the first time. His strong London accent is a convention of British Social Realism films.?
- 5. The editing increases in pace as the opening sequence comes to a close and cross-cutting is used between the first male and the male in the car. This establishes a?connection between the pair and creates tension and suspense.
