Representation of gender through Mise en scene and Camera.


The opening Dialog camera work, "over the shoulder shot" 0:01
This shows that everyone is roughly the same height with slight differences which signifies that everyone is as a team and no one is above anyone showing that women are equal to men. However, the one guy is taller than most and is standing whilst everyone but the girl is sitting down on a bench which suggests that he is a possible leader which challenges this idea by showing the dominance of the man against the woman.

Synopsis:
This could connote the empowerment of men although it does challenge this stereotype by the fact the girls attitude is strong and angry and she fades into the background where she looks the same size as the man showing she gains more power from her actions and words.due to the fact this clip challenges itself over and over, this intrigues the audience to watch as they will be confused into who's side to take.

Mise en scene:
They appear to be in a park, this shows that despite the arguing between the man and girl they seemed to be in a fairly relaxed place, where everything seems fine; this is shown by the fact the other people in the group are sat down on the bench, resting.

Synopsis: I believe this clip is trying to show even though their is dominance in men, that women are just as powerful, but maybe show their power in different ways.

Coming Down The Mountain



 Non Diegetic - Inside characters head.

A Non Dietetic Music Soundtrack is played at the start of the clip which to me connotes his heart beat pace while thinking. (a non dietetic talking in his head voice over.) The words that he is thinking seem to give of a sense of annoyance and anger that he has a brother with disabilities.
then it goes onto apes as a imagination thought.

Diegetic- Everyone can hear.

Arguing - this to me connotes anger.
- Downcindrome boy appears in first scene with the camera view in Big Close Up to emphasize him looking at his food and the image is a shallow depth of field as it blurs the background.
Cupboard door opening - Sound Perspective - boy cant get any cereals as downcindrome brother was portrayed as selfish by eating 8 wheat a bix in one bowl, Mise en scene - breakfast meal with Average family in the kitchen arguing.this leads onto spoon in bowls - Sound Motif 1.07 - Breakfast.low key lighting with deep focus whilst the boy frames the father who appears to have a blank ignorant look suggesting this happens a lot.
car - Ambient Sound
slinky - Sound effect - connotes Boredom 
dad speaks - Diolouge
teacher speaks in class - incidental music
wouldn't it be nice song.- sound bridge - this connotes to me that he wishes his brother gone, with a sence of annoyance and see's his brother as a burden.
