He says if he was born somewhere els then he could be the torrorist, does this relate to his race/colour/ethnicity.

People on the phones to the hostages arewhite, main one's are men. The hostages are a black male and a women, could this say that famales and coloured people have less authority and power?

Mise en scene;

Dark shadows and white light, symbolising binary opposite 'black v white'. People in coulours. One terrorist is very stereotypical, all in black with a big machine gun, main terrorist is in a clean suit, this goes against the stereotype and also says he see's terrorism as a bussiniss like job.

The white light refracts through the windows distorting theimages, this could be the tears in the hostages eyes, blurring what they see.

Music;

Haunting and depressing. Slow drum beat in the background, builds tension. When the terrorists speaks an arabic ethinic song begins, very similar to the one they use as a prayer call, relatesto the man as he looks Mddle Eastern.

Danny;

Croppedhair, normal for a colourede male,only his face is in the light, is very clear. Mutters a prayer under his breath, showing he's religious.Whenhe begins his speech whale songs begins, relaxing, symbolising that the situation willbe over soon.

Binary Opposites;

Black vWhite. East vWest. Man on the phone wearing a suit,v the terrorist also wearing a suit. Battle of businesses.
