Homework:


Scene: Frank confronting Eve about her illegal investigation after the person in the hospital is killed

Frank is shown to conform to typical male stereotypes and gender roles of being powerful and confident over women. Frank is shown to be powerful and intimidating in this scene through the use of emotive language and Mis-En-Scene. Frank is constantly shouting in this scene clearly expressing his anger while maintains direct eye contact with eve and barely moving, clearly depicting his confidence and maintains a level of calm that makes him seem collected and almost calm. This is all in comparison to eve who is staying fairly silent and looking down, acting very submissively, this emphasises franks power and confidence in this scene.

Scene: Villanelle killing her target in Tuscany

Villanelle subverts typical gender stereotypes through the use of Mis-En-Scene and camerawork. Throughout this scene Villanelle is shown to be extremely confident and casual while assassinating her target. This is done through her calm and collected expressions and body language even after killing this man. In this scene she uses the man’s stereotypical expectations of her to surprise him and kill him, this suggests she is intelligent and skilled in her work, subverting stereotypical female stereotypes in media. The camerawork in this scene commonly uses a low angle to have the viewer look up at her, suggesting she is powerful, there is also a shot of her next to the man, while he is on his knees dying from being stabbed in the eye with poison while she is standing up straight looking at him, this suggests she is superior to him.

Suggesting isolation. Pov Shot See car from POV of swan, makes watcher feel like they are swan in that moment, shows slight fear and tension. Low Angle Shows character as powerful, especially with violent context of scene Pan Shot Looks like character is hanging of pipe from ceiling but pans down to reveal that character is not  hanging of and trying to rip the pipe of the ceiling.
