Narrative:
- Boys waiting for their mate to come out of his house.
- Chatting about black history, but it is fake facts made up by their friend.
- Inciting incident, the man walking past in the t shirt, then the man walking past in the jeans.
- Circular narrative

Genre:
- Light comedy
- Casual conversation between friends.

Representation:
- Young people being violent and loitering.
- Talks about white women acting black and mixed race children.
- Gender stereotypes, men talking about sex.
- Potentially the directors community.

Audience:
- Feel like you are waiting with them for their friend.
- Feel bored at the beginning like they are.
- People watching like they are.

Micro Elements:
- Music, mix of those from different communities.
- Establishing shots of the town.
- Tracking shot of man walking, follows his legs.
- Camera is constantly moving, showing how impatient they are.
- Font copies Spike Lee, representing their community.
- Mainly focuses on the 3 boys.

Personally I didn't really like this film as it was a bit too boring for me.
