Representation on Ethnicity

At the beginning of this clip we see a black man, dressed very formally in a suit, the man appears to be serving people around the pool, from this we can assume that this man works where the scene is located. The man is then walking next to the pool and another young black man climbs out of the pool and the man stops walking. The two men are then stood having a conversation and from this conversation, we learn that the two characters know each other and we also see how they are quite different. By this I mean that one man is dressed very formally in a suit, is well spoken and is very well groomed however the man who climbs out of the pool is without a top, wearing a silver chain and earing and he also has dreadlocks which he has tied up, this man is less formal. The represents ethnicity because one man is very stereotypical of a black man however the other does not fit into the stereotype. We also learn from the dialogue used in this scene that the man who was in the pool has a slight Jamaican accent whereas the well dressed man does not.

We then switch to the next scene which again shows people working and from the costumes and props used, such as the cleaning trolley we learn that these two women are cleaners. The two women approach a door and one women speaks, from the dialogue we can hear that this women has an accent and although I am unsure of where the accent originates from, I know that it is not a British accent. The music that is playing during this scene is slightly more upbeat and does not sound typically British.Once the two women have entered the room there is an older man sat on the bed and we can see that this man is not British. This represents ethnicity because we can see from the women's accents and the way the man looks that they are not British.

A well dressed man and women walk along a corridor and from this scene we can hear the accents of these two people and they have a very typical British accent. These two people enter a kitchen and approach another man and upon approaching him and having a conversation we can hear that this man has an accent. In my opinion this accent sounds either Italian or French. This represents ethnicity because we would often associate French or Italian men with being very successful chefs.  From this shot we also learn that the chefs name is Gianni which is a typically Italian name so this along with the accent tells us that this man is very likely to be Italian. This represents ethnicity because the man appears to be following the stereotype of an Italian person.
