The document discusses representations of characters through their costumes, props, settings, and makeup in various scenes. Ricky and his friend wear stereotypical "chav" clothing like tracksuits and gold chains that imply a lack of wealth. A businessman wears an expensive suit indicating wealth, while a man from another country wears sloppier traditional clothes. Props like an old car and non-working lighter show a character cannot afford luxuries. Religious items and fake identities are used by illegal immigrants. Settings like a jail cell and isolated area convey being a rule-breaker and lonely. A black man in a prison surrounded by white officers represents racial stereotypes. A separate black-run business shows both isolation from and solidarity within their
2. COSTUMES:
BULLET BOY
Ricky the main character wears a grey tracksuit which tends to
give the impression that he is quite chavy, and also he wears a
gold chain which also implicates some sort of ‘chav look’ about
him.
The friend of Ricky's also wears a lot of jewellery starting with him
having his ears pierced and also a gold chain. This, like Ricky,
gives off the same impression. Which is also stereotypical
3. COSTUMES:
He wears his own type of suit with his traditional colours and
patterns to his community telling us that he is already not from the
uk. And the clothes are quite sloppy and chilled in comparison to
the other businessmen
Buisness men seem quite classy and wealthy with actual
suits which are expensive, hence giving them wealth
4. PROPS:
He has a cigarette which shows he does not care about his
health, yet we see he does not have enough money to
afford this habit due to his lighter not working.
This is an old run down car showing that he does not have
wealth, due to him not having an amazing up- to- date
car, so therefore tells us he doesn’t have much money
again.
5. PROPS:
The cross shows how they are religious and believe in god in the
uk still and are quite holy people, yet are illegal immigrants
The fake identities and names show how they are illegal immigrants
working by using different names and therefore are breaking the
law in order to gain money
6. SETTING:
This shows him in a police cell in jail which tells us he has
previously been convicted of going against the law in
some sort of way which allows us to see he is a rule breaker
In the middle of no where which shows isolation in
comparison to a cell almost like binary oppositions
which shows loneliness
7. SETTING:
In the illegal cab shop which is showing how that community have set
up this illegal service in order to provide money… making us think the
characters have moved country in order for a better life
In the airport it shows how okwe is trying to offer services in
all kinds of locations showing his desperation for money
8. MAKEUP:
• There is no makeup … but by him being of black colour in a prison with white
officers shows how it is stereotype that the black people are the ones to
commit the crime instead of us whites
9. MAKEUP
Shows the separation of blacks and white because hey have all set up their
own business showing how they stick together but also shows isolation from
the majority colour in the country which shows the separation between
them.
