Sound

Diegetic sound 

Diegetic sounds are from noises that are happening in the scene that haven’t been edited in, this means sounds like people talking or things like footsteps. People can usually tell which sound is diegetic from what they can see on the screen.

Non- diegetic sound 

Non-diegetic sounds are sounds that have been added in, this can include things like music, a narration and sound effects. Non-diegetic sounds are often used to add drama to moments that would be silent without it.

Synchronous sound

Sound that is matched to certain movements occurring in the scene e.g when footsteps correspond to feet walking. 

Asynchronous sound

Sound that matches the action being performed however it is not pricisly synchronised with the action e.g. the sound which is being heard is of a train however what can be seen is a women screaming.

Sound effects

a sound other than speech or music made artificially for use in a play, film, or other broadcast production.

Sound motif

 A dominant or recurring theme/sound

Sound bridge

Sound bridges are one of the most common transitions in the continuity editing style, one that stresses the connection between both scenes since their mood (suggested by the music) is still the same.

Dialogue

A conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film.

Voiceover

a piece of narration in a film or broadcast, not accompanied by an image of the speaker.

Direct address

When the character breaks the forth wall and directly speaks and interacts with the viewer and audience. 


Sound perspective

How close or far away the sound is. 

Iron Man 3

Representation of gender in Luther

Camera shots, angels, movement and composition-

Through out the clip the camera man uses a wide range of camera shots and angles. At the start of the clip the camera man uses a long shot and stabling shot we he used to show  where Luther and Alice are and to give them some information on the setting and location.
The camera man then changes to an over the shoulder the shot to show Luther and Alice having a conversation. The camera angel change to a high angle shot which gives the impression of Luther having all the power. Luther is a male and is dominating Alice who is a female which is sticking to the stereotypes of men being strong and women being weak.
When the scene changes to Luther and Alice in the flat the camera dominantly uses mid shots to show the flat of where Alice lives. He does this to show the Mise en scene.
The camera focuses on Alice's picture of a black hole which is a close up shot then beginning to zoom in when the camera in stationary. Alice begins to talk about evil and  how she admires the black while for how it can devours  its victims. By the camera zooming it it shows that Alice is amazed by this and goes against stereotypes of females being shy, emotional and mentally weak.
Through out being in the flat the camera operator uses two shots to show Luther and Alice engaging in conversation. Alice predominately does most of the speaking which confirms the stereotype of women of women doing most of the talking and nattering away about things.
The camera operator also uses lots of close up on Luther's and Alice's face to show there facial expressions and emotions. Alice is also meeting the sterotype of females being more emotional as she uses many facial expressions and in particular her lips.
The camera operator once again uses camera angels to show Luther dominance but this time uses a low angle shot to show hoe Alice had to look up at him. This makes Luther look more powerful then Alice as he is phyicall bigger which is confirming the stereotpes of males being physically stronger. By Luther being bigger this could also assert physiological dominance over Alice as she is made to feel small and helpless which is showing stereotypically females are weaker.
The camera operator then uses two shots, over the shoulder shots, mid shots and close up when Luther and Alice are standing close together he uses all to show where they re standing from a range of different perspectives, the close allows to see each others facial expressions etc. The close up also allows us to see Alice's red lipstick with have the stereotype of being tarty, however red also has the conniptions of danger, blood and death, which could suggest Alice is dangerous therefore making her powerful which means Alice is going against the female stereotype of females being weak.
When Luther and Alice are in a heated discussion and close together we can analyse this as a battle for power and in a larger context the battle between the sexes. The camera operator purposely uses a long shot to break the tension.

Editing-

At the start of the clip the directer uses a short take where the camera jumps from a close up on Alice's face to a close up on her dogs ashes this is so we can see the opening of the bag from Alice's perspective with is a point of view shot.By the a short take being used from Alice's perspective it shows Alices emotions towards the dead dog and therefore reinforces the stereotype of females being emotional.
The directer then uses a cut to jump from when Alice ands Luther are outside to inside her flat. This is used to change scenes quickly and to maintain flow.

Sound-

At the start of the clip when Alice and Luther are outside we can here diegetic sound in the background which is the sound of the streets, cars and general out side noises. There voices are however dominant and we can here the clearly. This can be interpreted that both male and female are equal as they are in a normal environment where they experience sounds that you would expect to here when out door in a busy urban location.
When the camera starts to focus on the black whole non diegetic music begins to play in the background of slices voice. The noise is hollow and deep and mysterious and represents darkness which could be the conniption of Alice. If she is a dark character it may suggest that she is private therefore reinforcing the stereotype of that females are private and passive. However it could also be interpreted that she is going against female stereotypes and she is independent and strong due to her inner darkness which is going against the female stereotype of females being weak.
The same non-digetic sounds stays shuttle in the background. However the sound slowly starts to build up again when Luther and Alice engage in a heated discussion which helps to build tension between them which shows the battle of power between male and female.

Mise en scene-

Alice's flat constructs a representation of females through the props in her room where Luther and Alice are talking.The props include telescopes, other scientific equipment and object and book. This goes against female stereotypes of females generally being less intelligent then men and shows as the props prove that females are equally equally intelligent to men. The books show she is an active reader and learner which also goes again typical female stereotypes. Her flat is dominantly full of grey and dark furniture and but there is one red chair that sticks out which brings the connotations of blood, fear, love, danger etc. these could all represent Alice which goes against female stereotypes. 
Her appearance includes ginger hair which could mean she is fiery character and not passive like the female stereotype indicates.
Alices Red lipstick is suggesting the narrative code of her have have a fiery temper and the colour red as the connotations of Alice being dangerous, trigger happy, blood and love. This suggests the stereotype that women are typically more emotional then men and react to things that maybe men wouldn't. This code is called a semic code.
Both Luther and Alice are well presented and dress in smart clothing which shows there is equality as they are both presented as intelligent and important people through there clothes. for example Luther is wearing a suit which has the conniptions of importance and power typical of the male stereotype.
The lighting in the flat is cold and dark with the only lighting being natural lighting which is coming from out side. This could be pathetic fallacy as the weather and dark lighting could be used to represent Alice and the dark tension between her and Luther.
Alice's flat is located in London fairly close to the centre and central business district where the prices for a flat are expensive this shows she has some wealth and money which shows she is independent and able to provide for her self. This goes against the typical female stereotype as Alice is showing that she is not passive or weak.

mise-en-scene

The 100

The mise-en-scene helps to construct the representation of the character through the costume of the character. The character is wearing nearly all black which could bring the connation of black which means death and darkness. She has also got a bandage on her hand which could suggest she has had an injury or been in a fight. She is carrying a small bag on her left side which could mean she is travelling  and has to take things with her or delivering something to someone. Her hair is blonde which some people believe means innocent. She looks quite vulnerable due to her stature and her facial expressions show that she may be  nervous about something. Her stance and posture also makes her look wary of what is in front, her stance seems to be cautious of something. The opening in her mouth could suggest she has recently been running which could suggest she was running away from something. The location seems to be in some type of forest out in the wilderness. As she is wearing a jacket it may suggest a colder climate. There are no other people with her which properly means she is lonely.She is surrounded around nothing but wild plants and tress suggesting that she is all alone and in the thick of nature. The props include tress with moss on them which shows there age, rocks with vegetation and flowers growing of and down them and a few shrubs on the mud flaw with fallen leaves on the top. The set design is that the girl is slightly off shot to the centre of the camera and is slightly to the left, the camera man has used a long shot so the viewer can see the whole set and the surroundings of the girl. The set lighting is dark but natural and is made to look like the big and tall trees are preventing the light from penetrating to the bottom. There is not high intensity light focussing on a single point which may suggest there is nothing of great importance.

Mad men

The clip was based in a busy office setting, where many people are working throughout the clip in the cack ground of the main character. The colours in the office are very typical of the 1960s. The decor includes beiges, browns and whites, The director wanted to create a scene in a office and there for had to get props that are commonly found in the office. throughout the lip we can familiar office objects that the director has chosen to include in recreating his off. The props include desks, chairs, tables, draws shelfs, lights, plants, a type writers, phones, paper, pens etc. these are all used to enforce the recreation of a office.The main women that the camera in dominantly focusing on is dressed in a fitted bright blue dress and wearing a gold locket and two failed large earrings showing she is not afraid to make a statement and be recognised  the bright blue colour could represent her bubbly personality or a cold personality. She has red hair which could mean she is a fiery and dominant character. up which could mean she has a busy lifestyle and needs to prevent her hair from getting in the way. She is wearing her hair  She is wearing bright red lipstick which has the stereotypical meaning of meaning a tart. her posture is strong with a flat back which suggests a strong and powerful independent women. The way she walk around the office makes us believe that she is of some importance to the business,The second women featured in the clip is wearing a bright orange dress and a colour scarf. This women is also not afraid to make a statement which could mean the first and second women have a clash of personalities. The bright orange dress could mean that she is a fiery character and not afraid to do what she wants. The multicoloured scarf may suggest she is a more in-depth character and she has varied moods and emotions. She is wearing a watch which could mean she has busy schedule and likes to keep track of the time. This girl has brown hair and also has her hair up which could also mean she has a busy lifestyle and doesn't want her hair to get in the way. this girl is also wearing red lipstick which also conforms to the traditional stereotypical image of this girl being a tart. Her posture is still upright which shows that she takes pride in her appearance but she sometimes slouches because she is nervous of is being told off. The first women is far more powerful as she is often featured looking downwards to the second women. The first women obviously has a high position/role with in the business The lighting in the office is mainly made to look artificial as they are inside and there are often bug office lights, however the light shining through the windows is made to look natural and match the suns lighting, which shows they are working in the day.
