Representation: Representation of the ethnicity was shown in many different ways within the way that the shots were used, within mise-en-scene as well as the sound, shots and editing.
Mise-en-scene: The immigrants were dressed in simple and comfortable clothing, as they were working. They were lower class and I can tell by the way that they were treated, when they were chased after by the immigration services. Wide shots were used quite a lot in order to show the setting and them running in fear of being captured. People in higher positions were wearing suits and fancy dresses in order to represent the hotel that they all were working in, but the immigrants were dressed in uniforms or casual clothes, as they were not shown to the public as much. This also tells me that they were doing all the hard work, but wasn't really awarded for it, as they were awarded by getting the minimum wages.
Sound: diegetic sound was used in order to set the atmosphere. The sound of a person knocking at the door increased the attention in the room, which was full of immigrants. So the sound helped the scene to become more realistic, as it created a lot of attention and scare. The asian men had an accent, that is also a common representation of people that come from forint countries.
Editing: There was a lot of quick cutting when the immigrants were running in the hallway as well when the men was running to warn the immigrants. This also created attention and made me understand that the genre of this film involves a lot of action, which don't increase boredom, it just makes it more interesting for the audience to watch.
Shots: A lot of close ups of immigrants faces while in the room were used. this was done in order for us to see their emotions and understand their feelings at that moment more. Also there were few zooming shots, when from wide medium shot, it zoomed in to wide close ups. this was done in order to make it more interesting to watch, as there was different variety of shots used. There were shots, that were shot from low angle in order to show who is in higher position within the workplace. This was done when the asian men looked up to his boss or manager.
