How is Gender represented in this 'A clubbabble woman' episode from Dalziel and Pacoe?

In this episode gender is reresented in various ways. One way is by the use of mise-en-scene. In the beggining scenes you see men playing rugby which shows us that there sportsmen and then they go into the bar which also connotes that they like a drink after a rugby match and thats where they bond. It then goes to a building where people are wearing suits and police uniform which connotes that they are police and something is going to happen later in the episode which is going to involve the police. The suits also connote to us they have a quite good job and have some money to spend.


There is also the use of camera. for instance when the man is sitting behind the desk it shows his authority as the camera is on a high angle to show you the whole desk and show us what he has on the desk to show what he likes. There is also the use of low angle shots quite alot on the police so that  the police look very powerful.

They also use editing. One type of editing is the theme song as it is non diegetic because the actors can not hear it but you can. They also have the names that pop up on the screen.

Sound is also used in the making o fthis episode. There is the non diegetic sound which is the theme song. They also speak with a northern accent i think so it is near up north. There is also quite a lot of unsettling music which connotes that it is going to be very creepy and unsettling.
