Clip
Portrayal of ethnicity through mise en scene/actors
At the start of this clip we are presented with a very strong black stereotype the actor chosen is covered in expensive bling like big diamond earrings a big silver chain and tattoos, whereas Ben a gay black man is dressed very professionally in a black suit and tries not to make eye contact, he also changes the words he used to be some "cooler" words. Next the audience is shown two maids, due to their ethnicity they associated with this job, this is already negative portrayal , the fact that are also stripping for extra money degrades them more. The male asian man seems to be coated in stereotypes the old thick glasses the age and the idea that they are rich also perverted. The actor doesnt even speak he seems to make very primitive grunting sound suggesting that he is a negative portrayal of a Asian man. How ever when the younger maid walks out she shows how she is a regular person, not this very isolated lump of meat as portrayed with the older maid. The higher members of staff seen in the corridor scene are both white British suggesting a time locked establishment. The main chief is also a stereotypical europium.
