Spooks
How is the representation of ethnicity constructed in this clip?
At the start of the clip we see that Adam is on the phone to the woman, while in the background the terrorist is ordering him to choose a person's life in this conversation. The woman says that she loves Adam over the phone, this could be the reason for the actions that take place from Danny. In the scene of Danny speaking, the room is darkly lit, with soothing/tense music playing in the background.
In the room there are 2 hostages (Danny and the Woman), a man in all black with a balaclava and a gun, guarding the door. The terrorist, who is in charge of the whole operation, looks Arabic with a smart suit on.
When the attention is focused on Danny, we get a close up on his face, with half of his face lit and the other side dark. Danny and the woman in this scene are both dressed well, with the woman in a suit and Danny in a shirt, but unbuttoned. Before speaking out, Danny mutters to himself before speaking aloud, this could indicate that he is praying to himself. He does this twice throughout the clip.
Unfinished.
