The TV drama, Luther, on BBC is example of a common stereotype of gender with the male in a higher hierarchy position with the camera shots being lower just sowing the power he has compared to the women who had lower camera shots which suggests that she has less power and is in a lower position on the hierarchy.
Binary opposition is when 2 things relate which are the opposite for example, in Luther, the binary opposition would be that the 2 genders relate to each other but are opposite and the male is seen as more powerful giving them more authority with lower camera shots which suggests that they have more dominance.
This is an example of a low camera shot giving the male more power which is stereotypical because men shouldn't have more power over women, it should be equal. occasionally, the women has more power and dominance as the male is frightened of her but the camera shots are lower on the male making him look more dominant which would be expected but isn't the case.
The Mise en scene for this TV drama is outside in the busy town but then goes to what we think is the women's apartment. The women is wearing red lip stick which could suggest love because the colour red symbolises love and affection. During the clip that we watched, the women questions the male about his marriage which could suggest that the women is interested in him with the
Camerawork
In this series, the two main characters are a a male and a female. There are many common stereotypes on the characters which are represented either through the camera work, miss en scene, editing or sound. The camerawork has stereotypes on the 2 characters as the camera angle on the men suggests that they have more authority due to the positioning of the camera compared to the women which is a higher camera angle suggesting that they have less power. Low angled shots on the men in continuously used throughout the clip. Although the common stereotype is that men have more power and authority than women, the establishing shot in this clip could suggest that the women haas more power than we believe she has and has more to offer than they think.
Mise en scene
The mise en scene in this clip on the women could possibly be her red lipstick and how the colour red suggests love or danger. his could mean that the women is trying to impress the male but could also suggest that she is a dangerous women in some way. The female also dresses well which could also hint to the audience that she is trying to impress the male. when the two characters go to the apartment, the women flirts with the male asking him for sex and other personal questions to know whether she has a chance with him. Later on in the series the two characters may fall in love with each other.
When the two characters visit the women's apartment, the apartment is kept tidy and clean which suggests that she takes care of her place but has many items in her apartment which are odd for a women and are not stereotypical of a middle aged women such as telescopes and computers which you wouldn't expect to see in her apartment.
Sound track
During the clip, there is a sound track throughout the whole clip which slowly increases the tension between the two characters. We expect an argument to occur soon due to the woman and the man having a clash in personality. The occurrence of a sound track in TV series are common and progressively builds up to be a dramatic scene in the series but in this case, we believe it will be an argument.
