This is my favourite scene from the high school teen comedy Superbad. The scene depicts it humour from the goofiness of the characters seth and evan. It relies heavily on sexual humour and is fairly slpastick.

Bullet Boy
Lighting:
The film trailer generally has low key lighting this connotes the dark subject matter in the film such as violence. However there are seen when high key light are shown such as when he is with his girlfriend. This shows that the character may not be as dark as his surroundings seem to suggest. It offers us more empathy for what he is going through i.e. violence
Props:
Due to the clothing of the characters and the use of guns we can suggest that the film is going to be about crime specifically that amongst young black males. The way the characters interact with these props in the trailer also suggest to us that these characters are not really bad but are however a product of there environment (more in which will be explored in settings)
Narrative/Characters:
The film trailer shows that the films narrative will be based primarily on young adolescents of black descent in Britain. The narrative shows violence and the general stereotype of young black males in Britain. However by having one of the protagonists seen to be in love (or in a relationship) changes the audience view on what the film is about. This is a film not criticising these people but trying to understand them
Setting:
The setting of the film seems to be in a deprived area of London (as shown at the start of the movie when there are flats/poor housing conditions) this setting shows us that the surroundings of these individuals and the conditions that they live in may have a connection to who they are as people. Comparing the setting of bullet boy to another movie using adolescents such as Clueless or Superbad shows us generally what to expect from the movie for example the teenagers in clueless live in big suburban houses and the characters are more superficial, the teenagers in Superbad live in a middle class suburb in America and they seem more mischievous while the teenagers in Bullet Boy live in working class environment and are seen as more violent than these other films.
