Synopsis

The film opens upbeat yet slightly thought provoking without the audience necessarily realising. The piece contains five main characters all from a variety of ethnicities, who all communicate their different racial backgrounds through the medium of dance. i.e. an Indian woman who is a bollywood dancer. Each actor/actress introduces themselves using a voiceover whilst the audience see them doing their particular style of dancing amongst surroundings which are suited to the stereotype area which the audience would most likely imagine them in. Music played in the background is loud and changes depending on the character and the dance that they are performing. It also links with the form of dance related to their culture. For instance, Indian themed music is being played for when the Indian woman is dancing, in order to emphasise her culture and where she comes from. In addition, the music of course, is turned down when the characters are doing their voiceover's to ensure their voices are able to be heard. As all the introductions to the characters have finished a key point in the film is shown when all the different ethnic backgrounds come together in a line. They do not acknowledge one another's existence but the audience can clearly see through imagery and visual form that whether or not you come from a different cultural background is insignificant, as everyone in the end, wants the same outcome and are equal to one another. Just because they have a different colour skin, or have been brought up with different food/religious beliefs does not mean they do not share things in common and can want the same opportunities and goals in life, or alternatively, that they can't end up in the same place. The ending shot is of a big, grand building, with a que of people outside, and including a sign so the audience are aware that they are going to a dance audition. This in turn, makes the audience wonder what exactly is going to happen in the next sequence of the film.
