Essay Plan

Tv Drama

Introduction
Our group was looking at gender and how the four micro elements showed who was the superior characters out of men and women.

Main
Camera Shots - there is a pan on the main male character at ht beginning with flashes of the other males but the camera focuses on him. This shows that he is the superior figure in the office and the women is barely acknowledged. They used a lot of over the shoulder shots when they were talking the the victim because it showed that he was important so when the main male and female character spoke you could still see the other man.
Costume - the men are mostly wearing smart suits especially the main character and the victim we see towards the end. Whereas the main female character is wearing tight fitted clothes which makes her appear more of a sex object which doesn't allow her to be taken as seriously as the men. She also wears alot of make up and always has her hair done which allows the men to oggle her especially toward the end of the clip. The other female charcter shown is dressed in a strict uniform with no makeup and a mans hair cut. This shows the massive contrast between the two women.
Props - all of the men smoked throughout the clip and when the note was shown there were several ash trays surrounding it which shows that the characters consistantly smoke. Another prop is a type writer that the second female was using. This showed that she isn't important in the investigating and has a lesser job than the men. The pool cues are used by the men and pool is normally asscotiated with men and it shows that the men enjoyed the torturing session.
Sound - The men speak with a Manchester accent. They speak quickly and use slang which juxtaposes how the main female speaks; in a posh accent. She is normally drowned out by the other males and her opinions are not taken seriously. The clip used mostly diegetic sound but music was played when they entered the lift to show the different location. The music in the pool room matches the enjoyment that the characters are getting from torturing the men.
Locations - the focus is in the police station which shows the men in their natural environment. They appear relaxed and enjoy playful banter amongst themselves.
Editing - they made the male character occupy the most screen time.
