Bullet Boy - Trailer

Narrative/Characters: The narrative is quite typical for the genre that it is, this is clearly shown throughout the trailer which because of males that are involved in crime and violence. The trailer clearly shows that the narrative involves young males getting involved in crime by the use of guns and other forms of violence which results to them being in trouble with the police which is shown at the begging of the trailer. However, throughout the trailer there seems to be a multiple narrative. This is shown as you see the crime side of the film by the males being involved with guns and then there is also another narrative which is based on the main character in a relationship with a female. The narrative also indicates to the audience the target audience of the film as most of the characters shown are males and the female which is shown is used as an sexual object which is common in gangster films.

Props:Throughout the trailer, there are many props used such as guns, torches, handcuffs etc. This connotes that the film will be based around crime as there are many scenes in the trailer which show the males in the characters being arrested or put at gun point. This allows the audience to be familiar with the genre and also have an idea about the narrative of the film.

Setting:
The setting of the film is flats which are shown at the beginning of the film. The advantage of showing the setting at the beginning of the film is that it allows the audience to be familiar with where the main setting of the film will be. The setting of the flats connotes violence and crime which is clearly seen throughout the trailer. Also, the setting seems to be a deprived area which connotes that this film will involve males getting in to trouble by the use of crime.
