Analysis of the opening two minutes of  'Bullet Boy'
Here, I have analysed the opening 2 minutes of the film 'Bullet Boy' to pick out the key features and conventions to assist me when creating my own video. This will help make my own production more professional and look as much like a British Realism as possible
The UK Film Council helped finance 'Bullet Boy' however the government is now scraping this scheme. Lottery money will now be given out to film makers through the BFI.  
The opening titles in 'Bullet Boy' last for 41 seconds. However, they fade in and out over black for the first 30 seconds when a shot of a male lying down fades in. The colouring of this shot is very dark and creates a sense of mystery and atmosphere.
There is no dialogue until 1:06. Here we see a young male wearing a grey hoodie in a prison cell. However, the colouring of the scene is very bright with the walls being bright. The scene centres around this male, which tells the audience that he is the main character.
This long shot shows a desk dividing the police officers with the male. This represents how the male is most likely perceived in society, with him possibly being treated or feeling like an outcast. At this point, we hear the male speak for the first time. He has a strong London accent, which sets the scene. This is a convention of British Social Realism films.
Towards the end of the opening sequence, the editing increases in pace. It uses cross-cutting between the first male and the male in the car. This establishes a connection between the pair and creates tension and suspense.
