Boyz in the Hood- Textual Analysis
At the start the opening uses a tracking shot to move with the children as they walk to school. The frame then moves into a mid shot for when the child wants to talk about something serious with the other kids. The blood as gunshots into the wall are there to show the type of neighborhood they are living and growing up in. The child also talked about how his brother had been shot which is implying because he is black that it was crime and gang related. The camera then transitions from the blood to the children in school. The pictures are done by the children in the class and they are pictures of what they have seen and this includes a police helicopter, someone in a coffin (maybe a family member) and a black person being arrested. This yet again is there to show what the children are seeing daily and what its like growing up in the neighborhood that they live. This also shows yet again the fact that its gangs. When he is walking home at the end it has the dialogue of his mum and the teacher about him, what we can see though is a group of black people beating up another black person and as he hardly reacts this would show that he is used to seeing this. This says about race that a lot of the gangs were filled with black people committing crimes where he lives
