Analysis of the intro of a Comedy "Don't be a Menace"

This beginning of the film exaggerates racial stero-types of the Black culture that live in a urban neighbourhood and they shoot each other for the fun of it. They do not live past the age of 21. The mother acts so hysterical when her "son" is shot and this does not seem realistic. But when she discovers that the boy is not her son it just makes the film funny. This shot goes for about 25 seconds and it comes from the long shot to a mid shot. You can see everything just on the storyboard below.
