Camera
The camera is an amazing tool at getting a directors interpretations across to the audience. This can be seen at the start where the shot used is a mid shot with what could be seen as a high angle as the camera appears to bt tilted up at her face. This camera level and her eye angle makes the whites of her eyes realy stand out making the stereotype of women holding there emotions in hand more realistic.  ( not to do with camera but this is really screaming out at me the man is is torn clothes and the maid are in uniform signifying the ladies are submissive.) The master a male charcter is always shown above her looking down possibly suggesting power, even though we dont see him and her in the same shot we are shown high angle shot upto him. In these long shots we also see a lady, dressed in a red dress no shots are devoted to this lady in a personal aspect this just as important as a shot, it suggests that there is no place for this very very sterotype of lady, the dress signifying femininity and the red signifying danger or love. The shots used on the lady are always to the extremes eg a long shot or a extreme close up, this is showing the edginess of her character yelling to the audience that something isnt quite right with her in comparison the master, always seems to be shown with ether a long shot or a mid shot there isnt alot of fluctuation making him seem a bit boring. Once the table has turned the camera is manipulated to show her power over him. The camera is now made to track her face no mater what as she lifts her head the camera rises to follow. In the scene where we see her sitting on the stairs the camera is at eye level , showing that she is with the people she isnt above them in anyway. This re-enforces the audiences siding. Once the doctor is back the camera angle changes to one that better shows how the master has lost his power a low angle shot is used.
