How is gender represented?
All the way throughout the piece I identified variuos techniques which the director uses to portray the use of representations about genders. There many active and passive devices used to create a meaning throughout. The characters all had a purpose through the piece which made it even more interesting to understand and know. At the start I got to have more of an idea about the male character who got to lead the woman away as the camera gets to see a medium shot of this. Somehow this can show the type of authority that he has over her, as we know men in general are seen to be strong and supportive. The fact that she is being lead could suggest the role in which she displayed mostly because the 'women' are seen to be more supported by the 'men' this is clearly are judgement made in itself. After, we see the girl in the tractor who seems to have the hands on role with the knowledege that she is trying to distract the animal whose hunting down the man in the blue shirt. This act is seen as not normal as we do not see women in society mostly using a vechile like this, however this act portrays women to have different sides to her, as we afterwards find the type of clothes that she wears is not nessecarly common but it brings to light the type of dress sense many might be into. Her specfic role may be the helper as she seems to distract and help the other team member. The man she tries to help is seen as the leader as he was the one who made sure the team wasn't hurt by the animal and made sure it followed him. He was the one who was also involved in the action as he got to travel via the rope. The camera was also on him mostly throughout,could suggest how respected he is especially by his peers. His actions tell us that he may be the protaganist who helps his team mates when they are in danger, as he does dangerous actions to somehow save the team. Overall there was many visual convictions that were involved so that the audience knows exactly what goes on.
Generlised actions of the men walking are seen to be noraml as when all the characters came walking up to the camera, they all had their own kind of walk which helps understand the kind of personality they all have. This coincides with their type of uniform which also determines their kind of personality. When the camera pans throughout the cast we find, that they all have a particular part in the team. There is a man who is smartly dressed and is saying various information about a particular area, we clearly know that this man is someone who delivers messages. His dress sense gives an idea of the intelligence that he upholds throughout.
The man in white with the gun appears to be the 'hero' in some sense as when he is holding the gun we get an idea that he has some authority and power within the group, his stance and posture could suggest the importance. Although, this can be debated that somehow he could be the 'helper' rather than the 'hero' because of how contained and serving he is, especially when the man in the blue orders him to do something.
Afterwards, we see a man and his custom is all ragedy and faded , this may represent danger as when we look on he has a gun in his hand, this sums up the type of personality that happens to shine through.
