Hotel Babylon

Editing- They use fast paced editing throughout most of the clip, they do this to represent the situation they have to act quickly to make sure that they save all of the workers and this is because they are all illegal immigrants, they have used the stereotype that most illegal immigrants are black and this is racism and shown in here because nearly all of the workers who are illegal immigrants are black. They use shot-reverse-shot when the woman is on the floor with diabetes and this is because they want to show that the black woman is on the floor and the others are above her and this is how stereotypically black people were seen, as below others, this is also racism. They use fast pace editing to show the tension building up when the officials are looking for Ibrahim, he is the protagonist in this clip because he is the main good guy and the immigration officer is the antagonist because he is the bad person in the clip, not from a legal point of view but from the viewers point of view. When they are in the staff only room it is pretty ironic because they shouldn't be staff as they are illegal immigrants this is why they use fast paced editing to show the tension if someone comes to the door, this is also partly racist because it is a stereotype that immigrants cant be leaders and managers.



Camera- They use point of view shot when the woman with diabetes is on the floor and the person helping her i giving her jam and this is used to show that they are feeding them enough because she hasn't got enough sugar in her body and that's why she has fainted. There is also the stereotype that all black people are doctors and this is shown here but that is just racism. They do this because using stereotypes gets viewers to watch their programme and this is part of Alvarado's theory that people wont change their opinion on stereotypes unless evidence is shown and by them using stereotypes this is making them happy and agreeing with their stereotype. They use a hand-held camera when they are in the room and this is because they are all scared and shaking so it is portraying their feeling and they are scared because they are illegal immigrants and they don't want to get taken away. They use steadicam when behind the cage thing an showing that the are trapped of in a prison sort of thing and this is stereotypically how black people would have treated in the past, this is racism because they are showing that it is like a prison and that is how black people were kept in the 19 hundreds and this is what they have used it because that is how the hotel is treating the black people, like prisoners. They use tracking shot when the black guy runs downstairs to tell the woman that the immigration team was here and that they need to get people out of sight and the way stereotypes were used here is because there was lots of workers and she chose the black guy, because along time ago people used black people as slaves and sent them to do everything, they have done this because it makes the show look stereotypical and people like this because according to Festinger people are reluctant to change their mind on stereotypes so it makes them happy watching it. They use shallow focus when the immigration team sees the cleaner and this is too show how everything freezes around him and all focus is on his and wha he is going to do because they are looking for him an he is on his own which is another stereotype. The shot where they are all in the room at the same time and when they are all praying shows that no matter what religion or differences they are they are all together and this is ironic because they get treated like they are all different.



Sound- They use diegetic sound on screen when the woman is talking too all of the workers and telling them what to do, this is a stereotype because they are immigrants and before they were told what to do and they didn't have a choice. They use synchronous sound when the immigration team capture the black worker an this is because he is struggling because they are raging him about and this is a stereotype of how black people were treated in the older days. When Ibrahim is in the hall they use diegetic sound because the music is coming from his earphones and the music is getting tense because he is about to get caught and shows why he isn't in the room.



Mise-en scene- Props is used to show ethnicity stereotype because all of the foreign immigrant characters wear old and scruffy clothes where as the white people wear suits and nice clothes which is a stereotype which is that in the older days they wore scruffy clothes because they had less money and less standard of living. The casting is a way of showing ethnicity stereotype because all of the foreign workers are kept downstairs out of sight and all of the white British people are mainly kept up stairs. The lights are mainly very bright, they use a bright side and dark side which causes drama and might be to show both sides, black and white. Another way f showing ethnicity stereotype in the casting is because when they are in the room they realise that one of the people is a doctor and this is ethnicity stereotype because they are usually very educational. They also use the clothes in props to show that they are all one person because they all dress the same and this doesn't give them any identity which is stereotypical how the black people were treated in the slave said. We only start unveiling identities when they go in to the room and we realise that one is diabetic and another is a doctor.
