In this clip taken from T.V series 'Hotel Babylon' the ethinic minority are perceived as being week. They're hiding in one of the cupboards in the hotel to escape being taken away by the imigration service (interestingly all three men are white). These people are from different ethnic backgrounds e.g Polish, American, African, and Asian.
The clip begins with Policemen securing the area and making sure no one can get out. Then we see a glamerous, elegant, blonde lady on reception. Wearing a low cut white suit. Giving a smart impression, she looks in control, strong and idependant. She uses a code to alert the staff about the imigration team coming in. Sudenly there is a mad rush to get everyone hidden and the pace of the clip speeds up along with the digetic sound, creating a chaotic atmosphere. However this intrusion seems to happen regularly as the staff have a code for this specific alert. During the franticness ambiant sound is present. People cooking in the kitchen, footsteps, peoples ipod music and keys rattling. The high angled shot shows metal bars going across the screen and in the faces of the people rushing around. Suggesting they are being trapped.
