How far does the impact of the films you have studied for this topic depend on distinctive uses of film techniques? [35] 

The director of La Haine, Mathieu Kassovitz uses distinctive techniques to show the poverty and westernisation in the film. One example of this is the scene when they all go onto the roof top. The scene starts with Hurbert, Vinz and Said walking in the streets of the project. Hubert walks over to a man and starts to sell drugs to him. In the shot Hubert and the man are in a two shot with Said and Vinz are in the background, the diegetic sound is Vinz and Said are talking which is the main diegetic sound even though Hubert is the closest to the camera and the main focus, the use of this shows the audience that drug deals in the project are everyday life and is nothing out of the ordinary. It could also suggest that drugs are not a big deal to them and the main focus is what they have to say not what they Hubert is doing. 

The shot then tracks all three of them as they walk towards the entrance to the rooftop, the use of the tracking makes the audience feel apart of the scene and like they are in the film. While the camera is tracking them you come across a smashed window, the use of this miss en scene shows the poverty in the project as the buildings are damaged and have not been repaired, it could also imply violence as someone has physically smashed the window, indicating towards the riots that are happening throughout the film. The next shot is a high angle shot of said climbing out of a dark hole onto the rooftop. the camera continues to track said while giving you a view of the roof top. the fact that the rooftop looks like a ghetto from america could imply the westernisation that is common scene thought the film. This is further informed by the barbecue that is going on onto of the roof, as babeques are a common thing in america and american ghettos. 

La Haine

Bleak- La Haine is bleak as nothing really happens in the film until the last couple of minutes when vine is shot. They do nothing when they are in the project as there is nothing to do, and when they hit paris things start to pick up but it is still very minimal in the action department. I think the black and white filter makes it even more bleak as it dulls everything down.

Real- La Haine is real as it shows what its really like in the projects and the lack of opportunity they have. It also shows the police brutality that happens and shine light on issues often ignored by the media. In one of the scenes it shows how the media manipulate what the viewers think. The film is also very real as the cast and film makers lived in the projected before making the film to get a real feel of what its actually like.

Hopeless- La Haines characters have a feel of hopelessness to them as all they do is it around all day and cause trouble. Even when they try to do something to better themselves, for example, huberts gym, it gets ruined and the sense of hopelessness kicks in. The film is very the glass is half empty and has a cycle of hopelessness-hope-hopelessness about it.

Tense- The last scene in La Haine is these as you don't really know what has happened and do not know who has been shot. There is also other scenes that are tense, many of them with conflict in, especially between hubert and vinz. Also when the police are involved a tense vibe sets in the film as the police are unpredictable and corrupt in the film.

i would uses these scenes as it shows the emptiness of the project. 
i would uses theses two scenes as they show the police have the power. 
i would uses these two scenes to show conflict.
