essay on hotel Babylon

In the clip i have watched ,i have noticed many media language being presented in the way that the characters displayed there attitudes and personas .The clip is loosely based on the world of a luxury hotel life ,and how all the characters are made to form into different multi-strand narrative .Throughout the clip,i noticed the camera work were all medium shots.This told us that all the characters were equal in terms of there mischief ,it also told us that they all had some hidden agenda,this gives us an idea about the sort of clip we were watching.


Further more i noticed that camera shots were first on the important people in the play and then on the characters that were being followed .I also noticed the mise en scene in the film,when there was a stereotypical black man in the beginning ,he was talking to one of the workers in the play ,and the fact that there were two women (french) taking there clothes off in front of a woman ,this suggest to us that these are the stereotyped characters  in the  clip and they are based on what is typically known of those sort of people,like for french women their known as very raunchy and black men typically known as 'ghetto' although these are just stereotypes ,they are completely not true.


More over there are also a lot of other mise en scene to show the ethnicity and how it is labeled in this clip,like when the Italian man was cooking,he seemed very angry and agitated , however when the (boss) came in the started acting like the were friend when the two chef were fighting ,the point of him being chosen as a chef,also told us the stereotypes that people have based on ethnicity .


Upon other things seen in the clip were sound.There was  a lot of music at one points and it seemed all round a quiet background,however when the two french lady were dancing to 'lady marmalade' it told us that there are also a lot of connection to their meaning.
