Ethnicity Plan

Intro:
What does representation mean?
Discuss Ethnicity and the micro-elements.

Main:
Camera Work
Black man was shown at the same level to the rest of the minor cast showing that he's equal to them.
The lead white man is shown at a higher angle to others making him appear more authorative.
When the black man enters only his body is shown not his head showing he is not as important.

Mise-en Scene
The black man who delivers the note is wearing a more formal costume of a police outfit.
The majority of the cast are white (colour), showing that the white people are superior which is a stereotype of people at that time.

Sound
The black man stands there and doesn't say anything compared to the white people who are talking alot, showing that he has more respect than the others.
The black guy refers to the other white people as 'Sir' or 'Gov', also showing that he has more respect and they may be superior.

Editing:
The lead white man has longer shot duration than either of the black men, showing he is of higher importance.

This makes the audience feel sympathy for him has he isn't shown as superior as the others.
There aren't any main stereotypes that are obvious to the audience for ethnicity.

Conclusion:
We think that it is an accurate representation of ethnicity at that time, but not for this current time.
