Representation of race and ethnicity in Spooks
The extreme close-up of the photo implies that it has a big significance in the scene. This is empathsised by the non-diegetic sound, which sounds like a gun shot. This links to the fact that he has been shot in the head, which is seen in the image. The editing also increases the intensity of the clip by using a flash and a jump cut, which then zooms in closer empathsising its importance. This clip shows the Iraqy people as terrorists. However, their costume contrasts to their stereotypical costume, as he is wearing a suit. The overall meaning of this clip is the balancing of the arguement especially when the man speaks of 'everyone loosing someone they know'.
