Representation of Gender - Wire In The Blood

Camera Angles/Movement:

This is an over the shoulder shot showing the action from another characters perspective. It shows the two officers rushing out of the house and they both look worried which suggest that something has happened. the camera them uses a tracking shot to keep up to pace with them because they rushing out. 

This is a two shot which shows both of the officers imperfect view for the audience. This also shows that the women is more powerful than the man and potentially his boss because she is angry with him, this is highlighted by her body language because she his point aggressively at him with a stern look on her face. 

A mid close-up is used here, this is because you can see then angry expression on her face and also the stern loo in her eyes. Again this shows the power she has over him, she seems to be a very confident women and very good at her job. 

This is an over the shoulder shot, it shows the women officer ordering a colleague to do something, this show the amount of power she has. This is the opposite of the theory of the 'Male Gaze' because the men are meant to be superior and dominant over women, but here you can see that she is very high up in the police ranking system because she is ordering people around. She isn't there just to look pretty.

In this scene it keeps changing from a point of view shot, to a mid shot of the man. he also talks to himself which shows that he is very clever. he is like the narrator as he talks to himself. This relates to the 'Male Gaze' because men are thought to be superior and not women which suggest that he is talking to himself to find out answers like looking at the evidence. 

This is another mid shot of the character showing him analysing two pieces of evidence. It show that he is very clever and men are meant to be because they are seen (from the male gaze theory) as amazingly talented, clever, dominant humans, where as women are just objects. 

The next scene shows am man pulling up in a big expensive car, this supports the theory of 'Male Gaze' because man are meant to be haughty and and be manly and strong. he walks into the abandoned mansion and kicks the door open, this shows that he is an alpha-male. He then says to the men inside 'You still here ladies', again this shows the power he has, and also over other males, because he refers to the boys as ladies insteads of 'boys' or 'lads'. Then he uses violence by smashing one of the boys heads into the wall, this emphasises the amount of power and control he has over them. 

Sound:

Here  whilst he is talking sarcastically to them and acting if he cares, there are is a diegetic sound which suggests that it foreshadows what is going to happened. Then we she him smashing someones head into the wall. 

Mise En Scene: 

This scene shows the sketchiness of the mansion, because its not a normal house you would live in because it is battered up and doesn't look like people could live there. This gives the feeling that 'normal' people don't live there. Again it foreshadows what is going to happen because he kicks the door in and lets himself in.
