Hotel babylon . . .

Throughout the scene there is ethnicity shown which convey what the characters are like and how they act. Ethnicity is the cultural values and norms which distinguish the members of a given group from others. An ethnic group is one whose members share a distinct awareness of a common cultural identity, separating them from other groups around them.This used to portray the characters personality and their attitide's.
The scene was in a hotel which shows a rich atmosphere and at first there is a old man sitting on a wheelchair, the black guy goes to him and give's him something which shows respect and shows his personality is represented in a positive way. There is a long shot of the black man walking towards the otherside, the other black man comes out of the swimming pool and starts talking to the guy which showed they were close to one another, however the guy that was wearing the suit he was in such a hurry and he also looked 'gay'this is because of the way his body gesture was shown and he says to the guy your looking good which portrays that he was intrested in him.

We are the introduced to two french maids as the next stereotypes to ethnicity. The scene opens with a mid-shot and this ables us to recognise their occupations as they have their work trolleys.The man on the bed, he was all quiet he said nothing and the background atmosphere was quiet, however the way he was staring at the two cleaners trying to take their clothes he didnt say a word he just glared at them loud music is played. The female's appear to dominate the hotel, the majority of high status workers in the hotel are mainly female's, they lack the male role's.The ethnicity is shown by their accents. Their is a high angle shots shown throughout the scene which represents a high dominence, the low angle shots shows the characters as a weak and low status, but mainly there was medium shots used throughout the scene.
Non diagetic sound was used to represent the tension that was building and the editing was used throughout the scene to create a smooth effect.

In conclusion, ethnicity is very clearly represented in the clip by using stereotypes which are usually associated with a certain type of ethnic.
