Hotel Babylon: Ethnicity
Sound portrays ethnicity in a variety of ways. Throughout the clip there is a range of emotions such as stress and confusion, with this the music corresponds the mood. Music within this clip increases when the pace changes due to the stress of the characters and situations. For example when the immigration officers find the cleaner in the hallway the music intensifies and speeds up to show the emotion that he is feeling which is fear and anger. As a result of this, this scene conforms the the stereotypical view of someone who is in a foreign country working. Due to them being foreign they are instantly imagined to be in jobs such as cleaning of housekeeping, as he is shown it the clip.In addition, when the actors are cleaning out the locker the music slows down to show them reminiscing on the previous character who was the man in the hall way cleaning whose name was Ibrahim. Dialogue is also significant. For example the receptionist describes the black man as ‘brain like sieve’ showing her authority and disrespecting his ability. ‘she’s having a hypo-gly-caemic attack’ showing his knowledge which could benefit our society however he is looked down upon and unwanted due to being an immigrant. Therefore the language that this actor uses subverts the stereotype as he is knowledgable and disregards the typical idea surrounding a migrant worker. As for diegetic and non-diegetic sound, the lift door sound is enhanced when they open to show the officers authority and power over the cleaner. As well as this, the knock on the door was used as a code to the characters which shows their understanding of what is to come as this sound of the knock makes the woman colleague aware that it is another worker behind the door and not one of the officers as they have a code of warning, which in this instance, a significant knock was used. At the end of the clip there is a pan over the variety of tables all of which are speaking in a different language showing that although they are all together under the same situation, there is still a separation of nationalities, Racial harmony is shown in the kitchen working together and in the small room during the escape, therefore this subverts the stereotype that a range of ethnicities do not get a long, where as in this clip they all unite together. Overall, the audience is positioned in the shoes of the officers as each scenes show the emotion felt by each actor, for example the receptionist is clearly confused in the beginning as well as the Chinese looking woman, however towards the end of this she defends the rest of the immigrants against the officer, although he is heartless and brushes off her defensive comments. Although when Ibrahim is arrested, the audience is placed in his character as the music intensifies making the audience feel guilty and panicked.

Sexuality: Torchwood
Representation of Sexuality is shown in many ways throughout torchwood. Mise En Scene portrays class in a variety of ways such as through the costumes, actors, props and lighting. One significant aspect is the costumes that the characters wear. For example the main men within the clip are dressed in British Navy uniform. People within the army/navy are typically stereotyped to be heterosexual where as these actors are known to be gay which wouldn't have been accepted in this time era. In addition, a prop that plays a major part is the gun, this is held by the man who is first shown as hetro-sexual. This prop highlights the power that the man has and this isn't usually known to be held by gay men. As well as this, within the area that they are shown in the clip, the setting is typically known to have couples attend, and in this time homosexual people especially couples weren't accepted, however there is the two men that are the centre of attention and are shown kissing after the camera shows a man and woman holding hands, as well as men and women couples dancing, they are the only two men who are dancing as a couple. As for the lighting, the white strobe that cuts down the middle of the scene highlights how women are represented as angelic, as well as this the boy if forced to go off with the woman, which is the typical ending of 'going into the distance', with a man and a woman, the homosexuality was broken off at the end which is what would have been straight away in this time and area.
Sexuality is also represented through the sound incorporated within the clip. The first factor was that the music that was played whilst couples were dancing was feminine and calming when the men and women were dancing together in pairs, where as when it cuts to the man and man dancing together the music has jarring tones, allowing them to block out anyone around them, proving that just because they are two men still shows that they can be in love. Linking with the music, they incorporated non-diegetic over the top of the music within the clip, showing that their love for each other is so empowered that the blocked out their whole surroundings. As well as this a man comments on the male couple and says "what is he doing" symbolising that this wasn't accepted and by the dialogue is shows the confusion of others. Another type of sound that was within the clip was that that was a loud bang noise which abruptly stopped them dancing, a long with the white light shining on them, this focuses the attention to them a long with the loud sounds which stops them from dancing showing that their love wasn't appreciated as a male couple.
Moreover, there are significant parts where the editing within that helps highlight the theme of sexuality in this clip. For example, there is a slow fade transition during the dance scene which shows how the homosexual pair should always be shown as accepted within society and with it being of a slow pace at the same time it allows a romantic effect. A stereotypical romance is seen as man and woman, which the majority of couples consist of this throughout the scenes, however the quick focus throughout the majority of the clip shows how their relationship isn't widely accepted. The homosexuals get the most screen time which shows how this clip is trying to spread the idea of their love and how it should be accepted as well as the other relationships within the room between man and woman. As well as this within the editing there is a special effect of the bright white light which empowers over the whole scene which is used to portray the couples undeniable love.
Finally, the last aspect that shows sexuality within this clip is the camera work. One of the shots that shows a sexuality is the pan shot over the man and woman's hand whilst they are sitting down at the table whilst the dance is progressing, this shot was used to show how the focus is of love and its not only man and woman that is accepted. In addition to this there is a slow zoom into the homosexual couples faces and this is used to show their expression towards one another and too show the audience their love for each other.

Class Representation: Merlin
In our lesson today we watched various clips to ensure that we got the idea of how class is portrayed through media. We then went on to thoroughly analyse the clip of Merlin.
Merlin portrays class throughout the whole scene due to camera work, editing, mise en scene and sound. Firstly, class is shown through the camera as the first significant shot as the clip starts is the establishing shot, whereby merlin finds himself in a room with upper class belongs. This is shown through the amazement of expression on his face, and his wonder when he walks towards the objects on the table. More over, the close up of the objects as merlin handles them shows them in a slow movement, highlighting his suspicion and represents that as he is of a lower class, he shouldn't be in this room or touching them. Within scene 2 a point of view shot is shown from Merlin's father outlooking through the window. This is too show his concern for his son, this camera shot showing his concern represents how his class isn't used to getting into fights as he isn't trained too, like the other soldiers. Linking back too this first scene, a long shot shows the woman walking towards the room Merlin shouldn't be, this shows her surrounding and how she is of a higher class than the first actor. This is shown by the recognition of the stained glass windows, the large building and how the woman walks and what she wears. Finally, the last shot that represents class is the high angle shot of Merlin walking down the stairs which makes him look small, this shows that he is looked down on by the other characters and is shown as a lower class in comparison to those who are shown in mid shots and lower angles to show their power. This high angle also shows his innocence.
Moreover class is also represented through Mise en Scene. Costumes portray the class of the characters in a significant way as Merlin is shown in dirty ragged clothing and doesn't have the belongings that the other actors have, in comparison to this the upper class was shown in armour and presentable clothing which is used as protection within the scenes. Also props were significant in representing class, one prop which was the weapons given to Merlin who was shown as not knowing how to use it and looked at it with awe, where as the upper class actor used it carelessly and knew exactly how to use it for defeat. Setting also showed class in different lights as the large surroundings which was the building and village they was within showed how the upper class lived there and the lower class were working within the village. In addition to this the main representation in showing class in Merlin was through the actors, the way they was portrayed for example what they said and how they said it, for example the father of merlin speaks with wise terms however within this his expression shows how he is of a lower class, as he isn't used to this attention with his son and is usually working for the upper class characters, like the boys dressed in armour who mock Merlin.
Sound is another factor that represents Class. Dialogue used within the clip is incorporated throughout but the highlighting point that sticks out is when Merlin refers to the boys in armour as 'lord'. This shows how Merlin is of a lower class and respects those who are above him. Animal noises are in relation with the lower class and they pair the two together by having the animal noises as non-diegetic sound over the camera shot of the pan across the village of workers, this shows how they are compared to animals and are made to work in poor conditions. Linking with non-diegetic sound, this is also added with the footsteps when the woman is approaching the room, this sound is enhanced to show her presence and authority. Music is also added over the top when Merlin is venturing through the objects at the start of the clip; being slow and mysterious, this is too show his suspicion and how he is rebelling against daily rules. As well as this music is added within the fight scene which helps build the tension between the two boys fighting, however the sharp music could show how this doesn't often happen between those type of boys.
Editing within the clip shows how class is a division within the clip, for example with special effects used, there is a glare in Merlins eye within the fight scene and this causes an object to move showing his unknown power, used against the upper class boy. This is ironic as he primarily doesn't have the power however this is turned within this fast-paced scene. The narrative of this clip shows merlin within a restricted room, getting into fights and then having a serious talk with his father, this represents class as it shows how a lower classes life is being messed around and is never within a routine. The pace is slow then fast and carries on like that throughout the clip this could show the tension between the classes and how there is a division between upper and lower class, such as Merlin and the armoured boys. As for screen time, Merlin receives the most focus throughout the clip, even though he is of a lower class his power is underestimated until his magical powers appear, therefore representing the irony that someone of a lower class in comparison to upper class can take control and have power.
