Unified/conflict 

The angles in this clip show dangerous stereotypes as its a low angle which creates power and makes the person in the shot intimidating. Close ups were used to show the conflict stereotype between the white man and black man. These are reinforcing a negative stereotype. The white man was wearing a suit which makes him look powerful and the black man was wearing jeans, both of these were dark and black which determines danger as black is an bad colour. This reinforces the danger stereotype as later on the white (powerful) man gets chased into a corner by the black man wearing jeans. It was located in a dark factory which represents hazards, this is reinforcing the dangerous stereotype, which is also negative. The white man dressed in a suit (powerful) had more prominence. The sound used was a very fast pace which put the audience on edge which creates suspense. The music also reinforces the danger stereotype as it creates tension and builds up to something dangerous, as in the clip the man falls down off of a mesh bridge, this is negative. this is made to pity the white man as he is getting chased this portrays the other man as a negative stereotype 

The Stereotype of this clip is dangerous as there are various shots like close ups when confrontation 

Hotel Babylon

 Hotel Babylon- 

Representation of ethnicity, 

First scene shows a man working in a suit which is shown by an establishing shot 

The important characters show their authority by the way they walk and the way they are dressed 

Dialogue of authority 

Everyone employed are working class and shouldn't be there. Immigration has come 

The male cleaner shouldn't be working there, he is an illegal foreign worker 

Majority of the people that work at the hotel are foreign 

Disability - coming down the mountain

At the start of coming down the mountain, the camera pans around the able boys face whilest keeping an eye line shot, this shows that the boy could be obsessive in killing his brother which he used narrative dialogue to tell us. This can relate to the villain stereotype as he is thinking of killing his brother. This then reinforces the stereotype of villains as they are set out to kill. This is negstive as he shouldn't be killing his own brother. 

After the panning, they show the audience an old documentary of an ancient animal video in black and white which can interpret many things. It could be old to show that the brother still hasn't evolved yet, but then it can also be interoperated by the black and white being that the disabled is very simple (black and white) or can also be said that he hasn't evolved (black and white was around in olden days) this then reinforces the ugly & physically in cabled stereotype as he is incapable of many things. 

With the dialogue, David narrates his thoughts which shows that he wants to be the centre of attention because his brother is usually more important. This could then challenge the ugly stereotype as he is not physically ugly, he is mentally ugly as he is trying to win attention and power over this brother who is disabled. This is an negative stereotype as all brother should be treated equally whatever their disability. 

on the shot of the bedrooms, the abled brother has a clean & organised side which shows that he is mentally organised whereas the disabled brother has a messy and colourful side which shows that he has a messy state of mind this then reinforces the ugly stereotype as he is physically incapable of keeping his room organised like his brother. This is negative as it's unfair that he has a messy state of mind. 

 

Downtown Abbey

The location in this scene is considered to be an Abbey this is to show that the upperclass have money and wealth as they are living in a big house. This reinforces the typical stereotype for upper classes as they are known to have big houses. With the costumes, the upperclass are wearing suits or long dress with lots of colour whereas the servants are wearing plain black and white outfits to show they are plain and simple. this then reinforces the stereotype as upperclass have money therefore they have rich clothes (with colour) and the servants are in the working class which means they are not rich so they only wear plain and simple clothing. The colour in this scene shows that the upperclass are very dull, Although they may seem to have money and their clothes may have colour compared to the servants, the colours used are very dull. The colours include, Rich Reds and Purples, along with the typical gold and silver. This Challenges the stereotype of upperclass as you see them as wealthy so you see them as being colourful.

When the Lady Ship was bathing and the maid was in the same room, they were filmed in separate shots although they could easily be fitted into one shot having a conversation. this is to show that Upper and Working class shouldn't mix and do not deserve to be in the same shot.
