Boys in da Hood opening scene analysis
The first 1:07 minutes uses non-diagetic, off screen sound effects, not showing any pictures just the opening titles. These sound effects include gun shots, car tires screeching, helicopters, alarms and a young boy crying "he shot my brother!". These sounds and explicit language give the effect of suspense and an uneasy feeling to the audience.
The story begins with young characters walking along run-down street talking about a shooting which occurred the night before. None of the characters seemed particularly phased by the events which emphasizes how they have been exposed to this life style for a long period of time.
When the children arrived at the murder scene, the lighting dimmed which reflects the mood of the happenings in the scene (pathetic fallacy). The camera additionally uses a close up shot from eye level, focusing on the children's facial expressions. Again, they do not seem shocked.
When they arrive at their classroom, there are photographs of police and crime on the walls. This highlights just how much the police are part of these children's everyday life.
The children talk using slang and are wearing worn down, old looking clothing. These two aspects show how the children originate a poverty-stricken background.
