Representation of Gender Homework

How shot types helped to represent gender:
At 21 seconds into the clip there is a medium shot of the back of a woman looking up at a man with the camera angle being low. This shot highlights to the reader that the woman is looking up at the man which in this case represents the man having the most authority.

There is a medium shot of the woman and when the man says "kneel" she does so and the camera follows her. The use of this downwards tilt highlights the action to the viewer and this also represents the man having a higher authority than the man. A master shot at 1.41 in to the clip shows the man pointing down at the woman who is kneeling, this shot also shows where the following action will take place.

There is a moment where the woman laughs and begins to speck out and the man sits down to listen, this action could represent the doubt that the woman has put into his head and this is where he begins to loss his authority. After this, in contrast to the tilt shot at the beginning of the clip another tilt shot is used but it shows the woman standing up and this represents her standing up to the man which reverses the authority roles.

As the woman is explaining he man at the last moment begins to protest and this is shown as a tracking shot as he stands up, but the woman, shown by a close up, continuous to explain without acknowledgement which again represents the woman to be persistent. The protest from the man represents him to be stubborn for not backing down even-though he knows she is right.
