Key scene 3 - Kitchen Scene
Supporting scene - managers in suits - not uniform, both of a white ethnicity - most powerful in scene.
European scene - aggressive tone and behaviour.
Stereotype - not a fan of the British
Italian/French people think their food is best - food is a huge part of their culture
Black people and eastern European staff in kitchen - maybe just the one British male
Pans from manager down to eastern European chef
- European man could be head chef as he is in different costume/uniform then the others
Long shot of European & British chef
Shows knife is in view
Close up on knife - adds tension - conforms to stereotype of aggressive foreigners
Edits from manager to chef to show the contrast in status
Sound - music turns tense to add to the drama
In the pool scene we are presented with a black male wearing a suit. We can assume that he is of some importance as through a long shot we can see that he is helping out a guest. Through a panning shot we see the hotel worker walking down the pool side in a demons fashion. We can now assume that he may be a homosexual. We are then presented with, through another long shot another black male who costume and appearance are of that of a typical gangster. Through the sound and a mid shot we hear the way he speaks in comparison to the other black male who appears to talk properly and without using slang. Through the use of over the shoulder shots we can see that the black male gangster is covered in tattoos and has branded hair, again showing the confirmaty to the typical stereotype of a black male.
In this scene we are first presented with two managers of a white ethnicity, seen to be in suits and not in a uniform as apposed to the other workers we see in the kitchen. The majority of the workers in the kitchen are seen to be of a European ethnicity which can conform to the stereotype that people of a white ethnicity are in power and always have a higher status than those of a European ethnicity. The camera pans down from the managers to the kitchen staff to show that they have a higher status of importance. The sound within this scene allows us to hear dialogue about food and is a typical representation of how people of a foreign ethnicity, typically French and Italians, feel that food is a huge part of their culture and is important to them.
