Hotel Babylon- Ethnicity

Hotel Babylon is a good example when analysing Ethnicity. The Asian guest shows many stereotypical views. The first one that i noticed is that he cannot speak English this is shown when the two maids walk into his room and he doesn't speak he just points with his head to show were the money is. This leads on two another stereotype that they are perverted, evidence for this stereotype from the clip we saw is that he was paying the two maids to strip for him, this shows that they will spend there earned money for personal pleasure. A third Stereotype used was portrayed by him wearing his glasses which makes the audience think he is clever which makes you understand why he can afford to pay for two strippers!

Camera angles I noticed form the clip were mainly close ups on different things, mainly his face, these close ups of his face showed different emotions, one of these was more of an instruction as he was prompting the maids to tell them what to do, another one was excitement as he anticipated what the maids were going to to do!
Other shots used were the mid shots a particular example of this was when the Asian man was shown sitting on the bed with his legs spread which shows sexual references, maybe shown towards the maids as and before they stripped.

Note Taking

In today's lesson we watched roughly a 5 minute clip from Gavin and Stacy and in preparation for a essay we took notes on it mainly focusing on the mise en scene of the clip, As we were taking notes I found that I was writing and taking my notes all over the place so it is hard to find were i made my points on different things when preparing to write an essay. To solve this problem in the future I am going to make a different heading for the aspects of mise en scene and put my notes under them making it easier to find my points!
