Within the clip the representation of ethinicity is highlighted, having the difference between the charcters highlighted due to their backgrounds, having the white British upper class with more power and superiority compared to those who work within the hotel and are illegal imigrants. The clip highlights the stereo typical veiws that society holds on imigrants as well as highlighting that the societies come together a microcosm.
Firstly, mise en scene is used within the clip, having the camera shot behind a cage highlighting that the imigrants are being portrayed as prisoners and trapped within their own jobs and countries due to being in the country unlawfully. Linking with this there are many shots that of the keys, and locks reinforceing the idea that these people are trapped within their own communities. In addition, the camera angle of extreme close up is used when focusing on the key entering the lock which highlights that these parts of the clip are keys moments and so having a point which can chnage the story line.
Furthermore, with t he use of dialogue it is presented to the reader that many people are prejduce and therefore believe that imigrants are not as intelligent and so having a close up on the females face when the cleaner highlights he 'wasnt always acleaner' having a high medical back ground. When informing the workers that the police has arrived the camera angle is tilted downwards having the hotel staff underneath the white british people in the lobby metaphorically speaking they are of a lower class compared to them.
MOreover the camera movement is hand held and so giving the action a sense of reality due to the fast, distorted movements at eye line highlighting that the veiwer feels part of the action and the tension within the situation is portrayed strongly for the imigrants. Within this scene the camera constantly has a quick cut to the characters facing highlighting the panic in there faces and vioces.
