Gendering Camera


 Masculine: composition shows male bigger than female.



Masculine: shot of female, however the lighting is dark and gloomy, and the men look as if they are controlling her.



 Feminine: composition, female is bigger in shot however, can be argued that the male is dominant.



 Feminine: close up of woman dominating frame, the lighting exaggerates her beauty, making her features look more smooth and soft, using soft lighting to make her more beautiful and feminine.


 Masculine: hard lighting to show the man as more powerful, rugged and masculine.

 Masculine: low angle shot showing her power as a woman. Strong and confident.

Feminine: high angle shot, showing a loss of power and masculinity. Weak and fragile.


 Masculine: composition, male is bigger in the shot, alpha male leading the group, dominance and control.



 Good Fellas.... Feminine: camera tracking is quite slow, moving through a relaxed environment of which associates with women.



Children of Men.... Masculine: camera tracking is fast paced, shaky and hesitant, moving through a battlefield environment.
