Hubert's bedroom scene

The audience are positioned very close to Hubert in a low angle close up. This use of positioning the audience is used to make the audience feel as if they're sitting next to Hubert. We get given this time with Hubert as Hubert is a greater example of the prejudice that they face. This is used so that the audience can connect with Hubert further, and possibly identify him as the main character of the film.

We also get a diegetic sound of a helicopter constant sense of surveillance, and that the projects are always being watched over.  We also can see in Hubert's room a couple of posters of US black citizens that all had an effect on the blacks civil rights movement. One of the posters is of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the poster shows them both winning medals at the 1968 Olympics, and instead of embracing their nations (both of the US) did the Black Panthers salute. Showing that they stood up to white oppression and that Hubert relates to this.

The drugs that Hubert has is either sold so that he can pay the bills, showing that he needs to sell drugs so that he can afford to survive in his environment. The other use he has for these drugs are that he smokes it, but he only smokes it because it shows that their is nothing else for him to do, as he lost his job managing his gym as it got burnt down due to the riots. 

We also get a P.O.V shot from Hubert, as he sees the youngsters and elders, and sees that they're trapped within this environment and that the youngsters will end up making the same mistakes as the elders. This shows that Hubert is aware of his surroundings, and aware of his environment and that there isn’t much hope for the people that he sees out of his window.

We also see for the first time Said and Vinz from afar. From this shot we see that both Said and Vinz fit right into the crowd and the environment, further showing that Hubert understands his environment.
