Analysis of micro elements

Mise en Scene
At the beginning of the scene the setting was dim, deserted work area. The lighting may represent the negative themes they are discussing or the mood in which these characters are in. The characters ethnicity were Greek and Israeli and their dress codes were mostly black clothing with black leather jackets which implied that they were working class.The Greek characters were dominating most of the frame and they were both sitting near the window which was shining on their face which highlights their importance authority. Another part of the scene involved he black community where they were all dressed very similarly grouping them together and uniting them which may imply that they are an outcast to society. The dress codes of the black characters used in this sequence were conforming to stereotypes of working class and no status. The Greek characters are seen in a Mercedes which again tells us the money and wealth they have. Their car was parked outside an urban area which juxtaposed with the environment they were in. The Israeli character is seen with a small machine gun which again conforms to stereotypes associating middle-eastern community with being terrorists.
Cinematography
Most of the shots were mid-shots and close-ups of the Greek and Israeli characters which showed there dominance and their control through out this sequence. However their were a lot of long shots of where the black community were set and showed their kind of environment that they live in.One of these long-shots showed the black community hanging on the streets creating trouble and miss-behaving which conformed to the stereotypes. Another interesting shot was an over the shoulder shot where we only saw the face of the Israeli character which puts interest and singles him out of the group he is in. when the scene switches there is a black antagonist who is very dominant and has a sense of superiority as he also has a henchman, this does not conform to the stereotypical representation of TV drama's. the use of the henchman is stereotypical as this implies that this antagonist is involved in something serious and dangerous that something may happen like a turf or gang war. the henchman has no dialogue and is in control from the black antagonist which subverts the stereotypes of men in TV drama's.
Editing
shot reverse shot was used when the two Greeks were talking showing the connection between them two, however there was a single shot of the Israeli which singled him out from the other two. Most of the scenes with the black antagonist was shared with a white protagonist which suggests the white dominance and superiority. There were few close-ups of the black antagonist only mid shots which tell the audience that what is also around him is significant and important.
Sound
The sound track at the beginning of the sequence was Greek or Israeli music which shows some sort of connection. However when he scene changed to the street which was dominated by the black community the music changed to a more urban, hip hop music which was used to juxtapose each other, comparing the music and culture between both communities. The black antagonist swore alot which again implies that he is not educated enough to use proper English language which conforms to the stereotypes of black men in TV drama's.
