Hotel Babylon- Ethnicity

The fast pace of the shots when the people are being told that immigration is here and  also when they begin to hide into the small room shows the struggle and the panic of the immigrants and how they all have been very prepared for this which shows just how serious immigration is being taken. As the pace is fast this overall is represents that immigration is very serious and also just how confusing and scary it can be for the people involved.

The officers had the least amount of screen time compared to the immigrants hiding but because they were in a group it takes away their individual power. The three men at the start who want to invade and search get some screen time but not as much, this shows the individual power they have. They are the first people that the audience sees and then this means that they catch are attention and this gives them power then we also see them near the end which almost if like they open and end the scene because they have so much power. They come in and take away someone which means that they were successful and have done their job, Also the officers  and the immigrants are seen throughout the clip which shows that people who are against and for immigration are always present and its still a current issue.

There are shots of the guests mainly in the start and near the end of the clip however the shots are rare and quick. This could show how people don't fully understand immigration if they have never experienced it themselves. They show the people who sit back and watch like when stories are shown in the media and the audience that reads them, they are always there but they don't know the details and generally don't play a big part in immigration which is why we hardly see the guests of the hotel, to show how the people who haven't experienced  immigration see it, they can be confused and generally just sit in the background and don't play apart in what happens to these people.
