Representation: Hotel Babylon

Main ideas:

- Representation of ethnicity

-representation of power and status

Camera

-close ups 

-Low angle and high angle 

-Over the shoulder shots

-hand held camera

-shot behind the bars

- The camera pans backwards when there is a knock on the door so the audience can see everyone's fearful reaction

Sound:

- receptionists  tone is cool calm and collected even though she knows what is at stake

-Immigrations man has a condescending tone

-yelling in different languages

-crying

Editing:

- The cuts between shots get fast as the situation grows more urgent

-Shot reverse shot

-continuity editing

Mes en scene:

-Immigrations man has officers/ guards walking behind him because he is in power over them 

-He is wearing a suit 

-He looks down at one of the black workers who is sitting down near him, but he looks directly and the pretty blonde lady at reception

-All the Immigrations people  look vey distressed and also Jackie who is trying to help them.

-They are all wearing chefs, cleaning, and maid outfits which suggests the location is a hotel

-"I wasn't always a cleaner"
