textual analysis:

camera: The tracking shot focused on the main protagonist at a level mid- close up camera angle whilst he is walking through school, highlights the props in the background and the setting being messy, and unconventional as there is paper and food surrounding the school and no students. It shows his journey leaving the school to escape what hes done
