Camera
The clip begins with close up of a man, his facial expressions highlight to the audience that he must be of a high class. This is because he is in a smart suit and has a smug look on his face. The camera is focused on him and in the background the audience can see that three people are walking in. As the camera cuts to a mid shot of the lady walking, the music in the background emphasise that something is going to happen. This is highlighted by the amount of jump cuts highlighting everyone’s facial expression – worried. A camera movement of a tilt is used as the lady gets the teleport devise out. The representation of gender is highlighted in this scene, as the man orders the woman to kneel down at him. A high angle shot is used to highlight that he is important and that everyone should respect him.
As he sets the clock counting down the seconds left, a zoom is used to highlight some of the people’s facial expression. Also as the first zoom is used, the audience can see that not only are ships going to explode but also if someone makes a move they may get shot. This adds tension to the scene as the audience don’t know what’s going to happen. A close up of the man’s face highlights that he is happy that in 3 minutes he should get what he wants. A close up of the countdown is shown to highlight that not long left till he explodes the ships around the world.
A high angle shot of the Doctor in the cage highlights that he is worried; the audience can tell this by the look in his eyes. Also as it is a high angle shot this suggests to the audience that everyone is afraid of what this man will do. A low angle shot is used as he says “this one’s useless, bowl your head”, this highlights the issue of gender as women are stereotyped into being useless and not as strong as men.
180 degree rule is used as the woman and the man start talking, the close ups used brings tension as they are speaking in short sentences. “I’ve got her exactly where I want her” again this highlights that he thinks he has power over everyone. Throughout this conversation as the woman speaks a high angle shot is always being used with flashbacks backing up her point, the man begins to get worried as he knows she’s right as he sits on the stairs at the same levels as her. A close up of the countdown is shown again, bringing more tension to the scene as only 60 seconds are remaining.
As she realises that she’s going to win the argument, she rises and the camera movement of a tilt is used. Jump cuts are used to highlight the other people in the room as they start to believe in what she is saying. A close up of the countdown is shown again but this time with a zoom as only seconds remaining.
A mid shot of the doctor becoming human highlights to audience and to the people in the room that what the woman was saying is true. The diegetic sound of ‘Doctor’ was constantly being repeated and that doctor became human. A close up of the TV screen showing thousands of people outside saying “Doctor”, this highlights that woman are exactly the same as men as they can also have power. The camera pans from right to left as the people in the room say “Doctor”. A close up of the weapon he tried to kill the people with, highlights that he no longer has power.
