Gender Note Taking

GENDER
technique, example, meaning created.

EDITING
- Reaction Shots - As the doctor was getting more powerful, the camera would cut to him more. (screen time) Both males get more screen time than the female.
- Position on the set - Suporting the stereotypes (GENDER)
- Flashbacks
- Special Effects - Sci-fi Genre - Creates versimilitude.

In this extract of the tv drama 'Doctor Who' the editing helps the audience relate to the characters. As the Doctor is getting more powerful, the camera focuses on him more; this is a reaction shot. Both male characters, the Protagonist and the Antagonist, have the most screen time, the female character dosn't have much screen time (but when she does she talks about the doctor)

SOUND
- Foley Sound - Clock ticking - Tention, running out of time, audience understand narrative identify with characters postion.
- dialouge - "i love him" - domanant ideologies of gender representation.

MISE EN SCENE

- Location - Props, staging - Reference to genre, stereotypical - creating Versimilitude

CAMERA SHOT, ANGLE
- High Angle - Crowds and the Atagonist - reflects to satalites, arrative + audience
