Henry looking through the blinds
This is a close up shot, low key lighting and Henry's face is in the shadows. He's looking across to the Gangsta's home base and his eyes appear to be longing to be over there. It's also a rather personal shot of Henry, which links up with the fact that he's narrating throughout the film. The venisian blinds also look a lot like prison bars which could represent something that he could become, and how in many ways in this shot his started with a lack of identity but by longing to be a gangsta, in prison is where his idenity lies.
Pauly close up
This shows a close up of Pauly, the gangsta leader. It also uses quite dark lighting and hard lighting to accentuate his features to make him look tougher and more intimidating. Pauly's eyes look quite angry and dark, he's almost glaring at the people around him. The gates behind him also look like prison gates and represent confinement but they're behind him which could represent how his prison days are behind him, but he still persists in continuing his gangsta life. His facial expression is quite closed which represents the typical gangsta attitude of not saying anything to anyone and being very closed of opinions.
