The person being bullied is also very shy which connotes a bully victim situation. In the second shot the bully is wearing dark colours and a hoody which often connote a bully or 'hoodlum'. In many of shots through out the piece the bully denotes angry expressions which are obvious from his facial expressions. In the clip their is clear iconography used such as the run down classrooms, school bins, bullies and victims which represent British schools.
