Representation of Gender- Primeval

The representation of Gender in Primeval starts of the shot where the male which is an over the shoulder shot/point of view where he is chasing a lady and then dialogue starts as the camera zoomed to the couples face then they started talking. The scene quickly and smoothly changed to the the truck as the camera zoomed to set the scene of the location where it was located, the location of the set was in a muddy/ adventure park. As the scene changed to we saw the lady who was in the truck she was a short haired blond lady who was wearing a leather jacket this was very clear to the audience because the camera zoomed to the character in this scene it seemed like the roles reverse the lady driving and controlling the truck whereas the man should  be controlling the heaving vehicle this was defiantly a representation of gender because we also see the male who was in tracks suit very comfortable clothing telling the lady what to do as she steered the vehicle.

There was a numerous amounts of whip pans during the scene where the tiger comes in aggressively attacking the truck she also saved the man where the tiger was running towards the male this was an extreme close up on the tiger as he ran toward the male character this denotes the power and the extreme force of the animal at this point the male character was in the hole where the lady was digging before the tiger came to this particular scene we see it was an high angle shot of character denoting the strength power of the male character. we also see the fear of the male character as he spots the animal running toward him. The lady then saves him by distracting the animal the camera then starts moving very fast as the anticipation and anxiety grows within the audience. as the scenes move continually and quickly to make the audience have fear with in them.

As the scene quickly, continually change without realisation to the audience there is an extreme high angle shot of the ladder where the male is chased to by the animal this was done because they wanted us to sympathise with the character. Throughout Primeval we are introduced to the Non- diegetic sounds this gets louder as the anticipation grows this also gets faster/louder every time something happens there was also different sounds such as the diegetic sounds trucks/tiger and the male character.

In this scene as the non diegetic slows down and becomes calmer we see as lady who comes to a barn and its farmer and she starts interrogating him about the tiger and starts accusing him about him breeding dogs to fight and be aggressive. Here we see the slim/ pretty lady a stereotypical women who only cares about her attire she begins to interrogate and we see an over the shoulder/ point of view shot of the farmer and his expression we also see his face start to become drained and very red as if to say he is tired of being interrogated and always accused by other people, we can already see by the farmers accent as not being very uneducated and his attire: he was wearing a very dirty/scruffy jumper denoting his social class and his gender that men are always dirty and the stereotypes which are always directed towards men. As he gets frustrated the camera zooms to the farmer we see her pushed to ground and a rifle pointed to her by the other character (farmer) and the camera instantly goes to an high angle as the farmer pushes the posh lady on to the ground here we see the camera in the farmers point of view and his superiority over her.  We hear her dialogue and she calls him Mr west and here she was on a low angle as she looks up at him.
