The missing - Notes

Discuss the ways in which the extract of ‘The Missing’ constructs representation of gender using the following.

Camera shots, angles, movement and composition

·         Long shot of pier and builder

·         High angled shot makes him seem weak and powerful as he has been caught

·         Looks small and weak

·         Point of view of policeman

·         Camera zooms to see inside his mind in interrogation

·         Point of view through door. Might go through door

·         Head on shots with suspect and nurse

 

Editing

·         Credits out of focus

·         Disjointed editing for credits

·         Simple quiet music

·         Sound of kids near his house

Sound

·         Music is slow and haunting

·         Sound of photographers as she leaves

 

Mise-En-Scene

·         All builders are male

·         Tony holding the picture whilst being angry

·         Desperate, getting free drink

·         Three males. Old man = order one being aggressive
