Ethnicity

In the clip ethnicity is represented through the characters and their actions, the audience are drove to link muslims with terrorism throughout the clip, as the clip involves a minority of muslims planning a terrorist attack on a political meeting. The clip also suggests muslims arent all the same as the media portray, as during the clip a woman muslim initially involved in the attack helps the other characters stop the attack from happening as she realises it is wrong.
Binary opposites are used within the clip to create a clear distance between the two sides of characters and reinforce the sense of right and wrong between them already created by their actions.
Mise en scene helps in reinforcing the effects and meanings created by the clip, the difference in clothing between muslim and english reinforces the gap already created.
