Representation in a clip froma drama.

The police and imigration officers enter the building are shown in a threatening way that 'means business', by walking in formation quickly towards the front desk. The police officer waiting on the front door to the hotel crosses his arms, showing that he is strong and committed to his job, as crossing arms is a closed body posture.
The blonde woman at the front desk, represents a stereotypical blonde. Working at the desk to attract visitors. However, this is then, in my opinion, disregarded by the way she speaks and her 'posh' accent. When Ben is asked to 'take the papers down to housekeeping' his entire surroundings almost are red. The red represents the danger that the audience are about to see, due to the employment of the immigrant workers. The colour red then occurs in ever scene, (including the words 'staff only' on the door to the room the workers hide in) to again represent the danger. When Jackie is telling the workers what is happening, she is rushing round, flapping her arms around, to symbolize her worry and the urgency of the matter in hand. The main representation in this clip, is the use of the colour red through out the hotel, to represent the danger and worry, as i said earlier.
