Representation of Gender - Primevil


In the opening scene of the clip we are introduced to a male and a female character walking together. The male character is shown to be a lot bigger than the female and looks over powering making the female character look small. This is a sterotype of men and women ebacuse it is making the female character look weaker thant the male.

 When the body has been dug up from the trench only the men stand around and discuss the options of what to do next. The clip cuts to whoever is speaking at the time and this shows once again that the male is the more dominant gender in this clip as they are the ones making all of the discisions.

 When the smartly dresses lady starts threatening the dog breeder about the police the male character gets very angry about being told what to do/ being pushed around. The music changes from being quite peaceful to dark music and lots of noise when he flips and becomes mad. He gets mad because he is being told what to do by the female character and needs to prove he is the more dominant character. The femle backs down to him very quickly

 When the 3 people enter the room where the dog breeder is the front person of the 3 is the male and he is close to the camera making him look bigger than the woman and the other male. This once again shows that the male is the leader and the more dominant gender.
