Further analysis of Hotel Babylon


The Extreme close up of Japanese businessman (Mr Matsui) in hotel Babylon.


is man is created as some sort of businessman that is quite a pervert that pays for sexual pleasures. The key lighting that is used in this shot is used very well as it bounces straight off his skin and shows quite a sweaty greasy texture. This infers that he may be getting a bit over exited due to these females taking their clothes off in front of him. The stereotype that is used in this episode is to show that Japanese businessmen are either perverts or pay for sexual pleasures.

 Martin and Gianluca argument

The argument between these two uses a range of techniques for stereotype and the how equal they both are in this potential fight. The binary opposition of this is vey useful to determine the stereotype of them. Martin is quite a weighty character that is much taller and has a much different skin colour; he is almost made to look quite pale and read. Gianluca is a lot smaller than martin but his mouth makes up for this. The shot reverse shots on them both are made as equal as each other. Martin is looked at straight on, even though he is taller. And Gianluca is Martins shoulder height but is still filmed straight on. This is to show equality and perhaps that they are both as bad as each other.

The two mangers walking along corridor

When these two walk down the corridor a sense of power and status. My first point is that they are much taller than most of these people walking up and down past them. Also all of these people are wearing these small white caps, which show the lowest status in the kitchen. Another point would be that they are wandering through this corridor doing nothing and having a chat, whereas everyone around them is running around keeping bus.
