For our urban story we took inspiration from the french urban story La Haine. We did this through the use of many different cinematography and editing techniques. Furthermore we also adopted some of the themes used throughout La Haine, such as the feeling of boredom and lethargic behaviour, We conveyed this by by showing how time passed by slowly with the use of long shots and the use of showing the time which is also a motif in urban stories. La Haine uses black and white footage which we have mimicked in our urban story. Also the characters in La Haine also loiter throughout the film so we got Ellis to loiter. Also in La Haine the main character are also influenced by American Gangsta Rap so we used none diegetic Gangsta Rap.
