This sequence is from 'La Haine' 1995 (‘Hate’) which is a stunning film which studies human identity and feet’s they will achieve once they have abandon dignity. This subtle art film and character study fellows the three lives of Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Kounde) and Said (Said Taghmaoui) over 24 hours, they live in poverty stricken Paris and underclass France due to a civil war. The sequence begins with and black sequence introducing the producing credits on white small inter-titles, there is no sound during this which is unorthodox and creates a strange mood. We then cut to a shot of Documentary footage of a character shouting insults at police officers calling them murders demonstrating that they have no form of self defence. Using documentary footage adds to verisimilitude and shows truth behind the films voice. Furthermore this ideology of truth is established in credits dedicated to those who have lost their lives during the making of the film. The best directors know precisely when to use sound but more importantly when not to use sound and knows because he uses the most effective sound in cinema silence, he gives the credits a strong raw and unusual feel which captures the personality. Fundamentally that all that credits are is capturing or illustrating the character of the film. We then suddenly hear a voice that speak in dietetic dialogue and tells a story about a man falling from a building reassuring himself by saying so far so good. “It’s not the fall that matters, it’s the landing.” The dialogue on a connotation level stands for the character decent in the story and their attitude to it. The imagery used here is the earth being struck by a petrol bomb on a polysemic level this could suggest that the character destruct is affecting the whole world or the war is affecting the global community. We then cut to documentary footage with a Bob Marley non-diegetic music playing of the song ‘Burnin and Lootin’ which is almost a contradiction in its self because reggae is often seen as a positive and vivacious music with this opposing images of War and crime. This will help me because my film is also a neo realist crime drama about people from an under previled back ground and what they will do in desperate times.
