laura mulvey (1975) -woman are seen as an object of sexual desire
R.W connell (1995) - four types of masculinities; hegemonic, complicit, subordinate, marginalised
'hegemonic masculinity refers to the dominant form of masculinity within the gender hierarchy. hegemonic masculinity is associated with whiteness, heterosexuality, marriage, authority and physical toughness.'
complicit -men in society who do not themselves live up to the ideal of hegemonic masculinity
Marginalized - These could be based on ethnic religious or racial identifications. They are marginalised in that their interest and perspectives are often not taken into consideration by the dominant culture.

How is gender represented in this extract?
As Laura Mulvey (1975) says "as erotic objects of desire to the characters within the screen, and the spectators in the auditorium" this extract links to this with the attractive wealthy woman walks into a clothes shop and in terms of miss-en-scene we know she's wealthy because of the outfit she's wearing and how her hair and makeup is immaculate. Digetic sound of upbeat music is used throughout the shop scene to make it obvious that the scene is back in the shop. The shopkeeper links to R.W Connell's theory (1995) as he is seen as a subordinate man in terms of masculinity due to the way he speaks and that he owns a womans clothes shop. The shop keeper looks down at the other woman in the shop who can't afford the clothes and mid shots are used with parallel editing switching between them both when speaking. The digetic music changes when the shopkeeper walks over to the other woman who is shown as more superior by this change of music and in terms of mise-en-scene the way she's dressed. This links in with L:aura Mulvey's theory (1975) of "As erotic desire to the characters and as erotic desire to the auditorium" because of the music change and the way she looks. Parallel editing is used when there is dialogue between these two characters, switching between both of them speaking. In terms of camera movement, the camera tilts up, starting from the bottom and going up to the top of the womans dress so the audience can view it. When the woman loses her ring, you can tell by her facial expression the panic and the actions she does as she frantically searches for it. The camera uses a tracking shot to follow the womans movement. A close up is used of the shopkeepers face to how his confusion. When the woman offers to pay for the shopkeeper to find the ring, a close up is used where the woman looks directly at the camera as if she's talking to the audience and says 'I know you will' to make them feel more involved in this tv show. In terms of editing, a fade out of black is used to flow to the next scene. This scene is of two men talking but you can tell that the oldest man is the hegenomic as the camera focuses mostly on him and he dominants the conversation. In terms of mise-en-scene he is wearing a suit and smoking a cigar which is stereotypically seen as what an upperclass and powerful man would look like. A fade out of black is used again and goes back to the scene in the shop with the same digetic sound used so the audience know its in the shop.
