How far does the impact of the films you have studied for this topic depends on distinctive uses of film techniques?

By using footage of real violence and rioting in the opening scene of the film it gives the film a sense of realism and documentary authenticity.  This lasts for a long time which allows time to show the credits at the start rather than at then end.  The real clips help to show what happened and how they have been ignored by the inner city and left out.  This is the reason of the rioting.   This shows the people living in the outer city and around the city have no identity as they have been forgotten and left, as if no one knows about them and that they are not important.

This forces the people in this area to create their own identity as without this they would not have one.  All three Said, Hubert and Vinz all create ways to have an identity.  At the start they are all introduced through their names which is a way of identity.  Said outsmarts the police by writing his name in graffiti on the back of the police van which introduces him.  The same is done with Vinz when he is first shown the camera zooms into the ring on his hand which has he name on.  Hubert is first introduced through a boxing poster, stating his name.

This shows who they are straight away just by the way the are introduced, which gives you an idea of how they are and how they act throughout the film.  Straight away Said is shown as a bit of a trouble maker and a bit mischievous by writing graffiti on a police van.  This shows how he feels about the police by showing no respect to them and introduces him as a bit mischievous.  Vinz is

La Haine word reasoning

Sexist- The males treat women the same as they would treat other males and themselves for example when the three are talking to the women in the art gallery.  They treat them aggressively and with no respect.  Females are not shown much in the film as it is mainly men with the exception of a small amount of scenes.

Bleak- La Haine is shown as bleak as it is an urban setting showing the backstreets of the city which is the bits you don't normally see.  Which shows it as bleak as you don't usually see this.  This represents poverty.  Bleak and boring as there is nothing to do around that area which leaves them just hanging around doing nothing.

Hopeless- The film shows some of the characters as hopeless for example Vinz as all he sees his future is going into jail at the start.  By killing a policeman.  This shows they don's see themselves going anywhere leaving them with nothing to do.

Heroic- This shows how much the three look out for each other as they always are brought back together for example when Vinz comes back to save Hubert and Said when caught up by the gang who start beating them up.  Even when they fall out they still care about each other and these events bring them back together.

Real- At the start real video footage of violence an rioting is shown and is what the movie is based on with the riots over the outer city unhappy with how they are being treated and forgotten about in comparison with the inner city.
