180 degrees used to make the conversation appear more natural

Editing
Shot-reverse-shot used to show the conversation between both Ben and Tel
The editing picks up pace as the scene goes on as it begins with a long tracking shot however by the time it reaches the conversation the editing is much more fast paced.

Sound
The use of dialogue allows the audience to see the difference between the character and the language they use
Tel uses words such as 'bruv' and 'ganja'
Ben speaks using the westernised english commonly used on a day to day basis
No Digetic Music
Different Accents


Mise-en-scene (CLiPS) (Costume, Lighting, Props and Setting)

Ben wears typical westernised clothes of a smart suit and has a short hair cut. This is the kind of outfits you would expect to find in a posh hotel in London.
The setting is in a posh hotel around the pool. Not a place where you would expect to see someone like Tel 
Tel has dreadlocks showing that he isn't westernised like Ben 

Scene 2 
Camera work:
- Close-up of the money shows that he is in power as he is paying them
- Man is at a lower angle so in shots he is always looking up at the two women/shows he is being ‘dominated’
- Close-up reaction shot shows him as being excited/also used to shown the reactions of the two women
- Close-up reaction shot of second women to show that she is uncomfortable with the situation

Editing:
- Pace of editing speeds up with the music so the two are matched in pace
- Match on action – when second women leaves all of the shots continue this action

Sound:
- ‘Monsieur’ implies that the women are French
- Music is synchronous and diegetic during the shot of the stereo system
- ‘he pays double for double’ changes the context of the scene and implies the ulterior motive

    - Money is a prop that displays the man’s power/dominance
- Setting is a private room no publicity
