Luther essay

Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs the representation of gender.

At the point of 16-21 seconds we can see that they have used an over the shoulder shot to show Alice's facical expression and how she acts towards him, the way she does this comes across very seductive which may please the male gaze.The representation of Alice's gender is shown as if she has just as much power as the male character Luther, this is shown by them switching between characters when they use an over the shoulder shot. The way Alice walks and talk is very slow she almost glides where ever she walks and lustful as if she does it all the time to many men, she is also wearing red lipstick which can represent the meaning of sex and is also related to lust, later on your see a red chair this has the same representstion as the lipstick does, this is also known as a symbolic code.Whenever the camera is from Luthiers point of view it nearly always follows Alice wherever she moves this is called a tracking shot, which could show that he is seduced by her or that he is unsure of his feelings. The apparent ment is very tidy showing she is an organised woman, however the lighting is very dim and not very welcoming, this may put the male in the scene off staying there because of the semis code which is shown. By the clothing Alice is wearing you can tell she's not a poor woman and the typer of furniture that is in the apartment is to cheap or tacky its of good quality. They flit between long and extreme long shots to show the surroundings of the characters, this is good because we can tell what sort of accommodation she lives un and were about it is e.g city, village, town. The more powerful an individual became the closer the camera shot became, this was to show who is the more dominant character. As the camera shots are flitting between the two characters and long or mid shot will be added and this then breaks the tension between them, also show reverse shot crossed with close ups to show the characters emotions,
