Babylon - Ethnicity

Mise en Scene:
The policemen are wearing uniform and this shows their authority straight away, they are all white which could show that white people are potentially seen as more important. The black and Asian people are all wearing ordinary cleaner clothes to show that they are represented as being poor and not intelligent so they have poorly paid jobs.
The lighting is bright at first and then it goes dark when being filmed in the small room, this could show that they aren't equal, the room is a store room which again shows that they aren't worth nearly as much as the other people in the building. 
The white lady and the Chinese lady are quite high up, this shows they are in charge of the immigrants.
Only the high up people are wearing makeup, this again shows that the immigrants are not equal to the rest of the people. 
The props used are: the hoover and the kitchen these show that they only do low down jobs.
The room where the immigrants hide is like a small and cramped cupboard this shows that they aren't cared about by their bosses and don't have a specific room where they can hide.
