Representation of Ethnicity - Hotel Babylon

Camera Shot, Angle and Composition

At the beginning of the Five minute sequence of hotel Babylon the first shot was of the hotel manager who was faced by a white english policeman  who informed the white manager that the hotel would be surrounded by police officers and that nobody would be allowed to exit I cam to a conclusion that there were maybe criminals in the hotel building that they didn't want to miss out on this. The camera angle on this was a full body shot of the police men and their boss which indicated their superiority and power this angle was shot from the hotels receptionist point of view.

There was a slow but yet sharp shot of the Blond receptionist she was also a white lady which worked there her look indicated she was a intelligent, confident lady she was accompanied by the immigration service who were three men two large men and there boss they were all dressed in black suites and the boss had a suit they were very business like by the way they talked and walked they also seemed powerful and respectful.
