We had to watch a clip from Moses Jones and wright an essay on how it represents race. There are a lot of things that contribute to the way they persue different races. Things such as camera angles makes the white man in the office look more powerful that the black man as it shows him from a low angle. Also, the reflection from the glass makes it look like there is a seperation between them. The jobs that they have make the white men look supirior to the black men also by the clothes they are wearing- they look better off.
Whilst the men in the morgue pull out the body, the camera shakes which makes it more realistic, also the body is pulled straight to the centre of the screen, purely for the shock. The white men seem to look down on the black mans body during this clip as it shows them from a low angle, this shows disrespect.
It is also edited to show that the people in the morgue are included with the people in the office from cutting from the body, to a picture of the body. This is to show that the stories are linked.
