Ethnicity

The scene opens with a long shot that begins to track the movement of a character. An extreme long-shot is used to show that the scene is taking place in a hotel. This character acts against his ethnic stereotype as he is revealed to be wearing a suit and appears to be in a high position within his workplace. In a later shot we are shown a character who more accurately portrays his stereotype. The character is wearing chain jewellery and has tattoos appears to be of a lower class than the first character. We can see him use words such as "bro" and "man" frequently and as a result he appears to be less intelligent than the first character who is well spoken. During the conversation, the first character is placed above the other in the shot, implying that he is of a higher class and authority than the second character. A zoom into a close up is used as the first character says "bro", this shows us that the character is becoming more like his stereotype in order to fit in with the second character. The music is very smooth to start with and offers a sophisticated vibe to the scene  and character but as the scene continues to the point where he lowers himself to his stereotype it begins to become quicker in order to show that the character is feeling pressure to fit in.

The next scene opens with a tilt up shot and a different tempo of music in order to help show that the scene and characters have been changed. We are introduced to two new characters who appear to be hotel employees. We can tell immediately that the characters are not English as they speak with foreign accents and use words such as "monsieur" when referring to a guest, this causes them to fall into the stereotype that is assumed with hotel maids which is typically thought to be a low payed job. One of the women reveal that a male character has "payed double for double" this implies that something out of the ordinary is about to take place  as the music builds and it implies the stereotype that these foreign working class women will do anything for money.

The next scene opens with a long shot of an Asian man sitting on the bed. From his body language the audience can tell that he is extremely excited as he gestures towards the money. As the diegetic sound of the speaker begins to play, the women begin to strip. This further shows that the characters are playing up to the stereotype that women will do anything for money and it also highlights the stereotype that Asian men have extreme sexual fantasies. The time between different shots are used with a collection of close-ups that reflect the man's excitement towards the women. The decreased time between shots also combine with the music to show the build up of tension of one of the women as she begins to want to leave the room. This shows the audience that the female character is challenging the stereotype and refuses to continue while the other conforms to the stereotype and carries on.

In a later scene we are introduced to two new characters who are both British. The accent is used to make the characters sound as if they are of a higher class and status than the workers, implying that they work in a managerial position. This is also enforced through their formal attire and their upright body language. Two-shots are mainly used through out this scene and it gives the impression that they are of the same status and are working in the same roles. Their status over the workers can be seen as the workers are forced to walk around them, leaving the two characters in the centre of the shot.

The two characters walk into the kitchen where the audience is introduced to another set of characters. Two main characters are the focus of the scene, one is Italian and the other is British. The audience can immediately tell that the first chef is Italian from his thick accent. This character sticks to his stereotype as he uses a wide range of expressive gestures such as his hand gestures and the way that he kisses the forehead of his co-worker. There is clearly some tension between the two characters as the British character is clearly uncomfortable around him with his body language. Close-up shots are used more frequently when the two British characters leave as the music builds up in order to show the tension that is piling up, indicating to the audience that the two chefs are about to clash. The two characters begin to use stereotypes of each other's characters as insults. These include phrases such as "British pleb", "piggy little eyes","pig ugly English cretin". We can see that the characters are becoming offended by the stereotypes as a close-up of the Italian chef picking up the knife shows that tensions are really building as the time between cuts decrease while the pace of the music increases. The use of a medium two-shot shows the how the smaller Italian chef has changed the balance of power by pulling out a knife even though the English character towers over him. This helps enforce another stereotype that Italians can be aggressive once offended.
