notes on the film

- Over shoulder is used in the first scene when the lady and man are fighting

- Close up is used to show the facial expressions of the characters for example the reporter is scared of the gun and it shows a close up of her in shock and not knowing what to do but as for the other lady when ther is a close up of her it shows that shes not sceard of anything becuase evrytime we see her shes either got a gun her hand or shes digging and fighting the lion.

- Shot revers shot is used when the man is slideing down the rope and then the lion chasing him across, also this was used when 5 characters met up and had a conversation

- Dolly shot is used when the man puts the piece of meat on the lion trap

- Fast pan is used when the man slides down the rope to show that its really fast and his trying to get away from the lion

- Two shot is used when there talking about the body, used when ever there is a conversation

- Sound- soundtrack makes it seem like there is trouble ahead

- the lion roaring really loud

- sound track is really sad at the beginning becausee of the argument and then the sound track changes into

a tense sound to make the audience aware that something bad will happen

- The sound shows that something is wrong because it becomes really loud

- The sound track starts to become really tense because the lion starts to chase the man across the forest

- The gun shot in the barn and the dogs barking at the same time makes it sound really chaotic

- The sound is really important in this clip becuase it makes the audience feel really tense and it foreshadows what is going to happen next

- When the sound track is really tense it doesnt really make the men sceard and only the audience, this represents the men being strong

- Lighting is bright like a normal day


- For the costumes, the lady wearing smart clothes because shes a reporter- she has a higher staus and as for the lady that was digging she looks more diffrent because she was wearing all black with a leather jacket and her hair style looked like she was a rock person- this showed us she was a bit of a lower class person and the lady in the biggning looked casual.

- The men are dressed very casual

- The women are usally shown very agressive for example the first lady that had the argument and the reporter, but the digger looked as if she was a stong type and she wasnt sceard of the lion, so there are variouse types of characters.

    There are a few good observations of technical elements here but hardly anything about the representation of gender.

    In this essay you must examine how representations are constructed.... How does the camerawork, editing, sound and mise en scene emphasise femininity/masculinity? etc
