How Far does the impact of the films you have studied for this topic depend on the distinctive use of techniques?

- Handheld camera, documentry, realism.
- For a minute 50 there is no cuts, not many cuts
- A lot of references to films in conversations
- A man with a camera, makes the film seem like a real person is documenting, always a media source present.
- Pans from a close up yo another part of the group, there will always be conflict.
- Arab policemen comes in into the shot to balance.
- Said's brother tells him to go to stay out of trouble, good role model.
- Camera changes to a more gritty camera, looks like a documentary, they its not thoiry but then they act like animals throwing things at the car.
- They say it isn't a zoo but they act like animals.

The impact of La Haine for me does depend of the techniques used. La Haine uses a lot of handheld camera shots which creates realism to the film. This helps the film move along well because the film is dealing with real life situations. The film is filmed like it is a documentary so that the audience will use this as a learning tool, its an insight to how the classes are.

The lack of cuts shows shows the slow pace of life in the suburbs. It also shows how bored theses people are and how they don't do anything productive in their life. With the lack of role models and functional families they result to violence because they have nothing else that they feel they can do with their lives. Some people want to break away from it like Hubert who seems to want to break away and join the police. Another thing that influences the violence to theses kind of people are the media and film. For example when Vinz in reacting a scene from taxi driver which is very violent and Vinz's only male role model.

When the Police come and kick off the people on the roof there is a man that is holding a camera. This shows that there is always a media source present. It also creates the effect of realism as it makes the camera that is filming seem like a local person filming what is going on, it also gives the film a more documentary feel.

Through out the film Said is in the middle to keep balance in the friendships, he is the only character with a brother or a male role model. Just like Said, an Arab policeman goes mid shot and tries to bring balance to the situation. He likes the lads who are in trouble but he has to do his job.
