representation of gender

At the beginning of the clip, the camera is at a high angle when Martha is in shot. Along with The master's shots always being low-angle, It implies that The Master is the character who is in power. This is followed by him ordering her to "kneel" which also shows that he is the one in power. This follows typical gender stereotypes as the female is the character who is being ordered around and controlled by the male character. The camera shows multiple men dressed in black and holding weapons, which gives the sense that they are violent and forceful, which is a common stereotype for males. In comparison, all of the female characters are shown to be weak as they are all unarmed and some are hostages. Both The Master and Martha have around the same amount of screentime close to the beginning of the clip, which shows that both are important characters and also challenges the stereotype of males being more powerful than females, as both characters are shown as equal in importance. The Master has considerably more dialogue than Martha, and at the point after he tells her to kneel he is mostly giving commands and not giving others much chance to talk at all. This gives him the position of power over all of the other characters in the scene. As he is doing this, the camera repeatedly cuts to Martha's face to show her expressions. She is shown to be quite emotional in response to this, which is a stereotypical trait of females.
