La Haine-The elements of the film I will focus on is the micro elements of Cinematography, sound, Mise En-scene, Narrative while macro elements I will solely focus on Critical reception. For cultural context I will focus on the riots due to Arabic treatment in France at the time. The scene I will focus on is the last 2 minutes 30 seconds of the film.

Alfred Hitchcock on the element of the suspense.

After the film was well received upon its release in France, Alain Juppé, who was Prime Minister of France at the time, commissioned a special screening of the film for the cabinet, which ministers were required to attend. A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that, despite resenting some of the anti-police themes present in the film, Juppé found La haine to be “a beautiful work of cinematographic art that can make us more aware of certain realities.”

So its about education more than anything else. Vin gave up his gun at the last moment because he learned lesson but the cops didn’t because they kept on their bullshit. Mathieu Kassovitz

Film Idea:

Our short film will be focused around a middle aged man who is stressed in life, there will be very minimal dialogue if any. We will start the film off with a simple montage of his day and show subtle things that aggravate him to create a theme. There will be a conflict between the man and someone on the phone (possibly a son/wife) which tips him over the edge in a fit of rage which will be the turning point. After this call the film will then focus on the mans attempt to heal his stress through therapy/yoga which will ease the tension in the film. A main scene of the film will be some skipping shots between the man swimming peacefully in a pool and him arguing on the phone in a kind of flashback, This contrast between relaxation and stress will be shown through the man going under the water and then coming up for air which is symbolizing his mental state. The end of the film will show the man staring at the edge of the pool and then all of a sudden he smashes his head against the edge consequently leading to his “supposed” suicide. we would like to leave the viewer with the question of whether hes dead or not.

Themes: psychosis/stress/suicide

Id like for the film to be focused on the contrast between a healthy lifestyle and an unhealthy mind so i think the film should be shot in a nice clean house and use mise en scene of having lots of healthy foods and objects. We will have very minimal dialogue in the film and use lots of long distance shots to symbolize the mans isolation and anxieties.
