Mock- the hustle

Screening 1-

The clip begins with a long shot which is on the man who works in the store. The man goes up to an older woman who is a customer and shows a judging look as if she can't afford the dress she is looking at. The store owner shows his masculine side by standing above the woman making her feel belittled, in the background a younger customer comes in wearing a very expensive ring and he suggests a designer dress this is where is post masculine side comes out. The key representations of characters in this scene is the store owner who is post masculine, the customer who is feminine as she acts very feminine as when she looses her ring she says her husband will kill her suggesting she's under control but she also shows post femininity by the way she seems in control of the sale. Another key character that is represented is the man who claims he finds the missing ring he is masculine as he stands his ground and acts like the alpha male. The representation of the rich woman is negative as she seems stuck up also the first viewing of the shop keeper when he speaks to the older woman he seems like he does not want her service as she does not look like the rich kind which brings the audience to feel some sympathy for her. Yes the use of naturalism is used everyone acts very natural just like they would in a regular shop.

The key status characters are the store owner, the rich lady customer and the man who claims he found the ring. The status of the store owner changes slightly as he is post masculine and then he begins to change and try to be masculine in the disagreement with the man but when the man proves his masculinity the store owner goes back to post masculine male. The diegetic music starts at the very beginning of the clip and ends at 0.17 seconds it does this to introduce the clip before the characters begin talking. The camera is mainly stable however when they're searching for the ring it looks as though the camera becomes slightly unsteady. An unusual camera shot I picked up was when a couple of the characters looked at the camera and spoke to it. The shot reverse shots were obvious editing as they don't tend to take much editing so you can tell when they have been edited.
