Mise en scene in Hotel Babylon

Mise-en-scene:
There is binary oppositions in the extract from the hotel lobby and the downstairs quarters for the hotel emplyees. This suggests the ethnic differences between the immagrants and the UK citezens. The contrast between these two settings makes the audience understand further the heiarchy of the immagrants and the other people. This connotes how the stereotype of the immagrants is much lower down than the white/caucasian people.

Editing:
Shot reverse shot is used in the extract during the conversation between the receptionist woman (possibly the antagonist) and the worker immagrant who helps the diabetic woman. The sequence between the two characters shows the realization that the worker man is not just an unskilled cleaner. The audience understand that where the man comes from he was a skilled doctor figure and understands medicine.

Camera Angles:
Camera shots in the extract show the tension of the sequence. A pull focus is used to show the realization of when Ibrahim get captured by the immagration officers. This technique is commonly used in TV dramas to show the sudden understanding of a dramatic moment.
