We recorded a voice over of a news reader reporting prejudice against immigrants as a result of sensationalist coverage of rising crime figures. We have made particular meanings clear through our sound and vision editing:
- The word crime occurs at the same moment as Olez, the Ukrainian immigrant, picks up his fish filleting knife. This links the idea of crime to Olez's thoughts.
- The audience's understanding that Olez is an immigrant is reinforced by the slow tilt pan upwards towards his face occurring as the news reader talks about the plight of immigrants.
- Olez dreams about his chances with "a nice girl" like his coworker has. His dreams are conveyed through our vision editing technique of the opacity tool combined with slow mo. The words of the Public Affairs Officer for the Migrant Rights Network ("all they want is to find a nice girl and settle down with a good job") occur at the same time.
