stereotypes of sexuality
- camp/butch
- threat
- promiscuous
- victim
camera angles
composition shows power - man is a threat
camera on bossom shows male gaze - shows woman has a desire for another woman (promiscuous)
high angle used when man grabs maud to show power (threat)
camera focuses on the curves of the woman (sexualised)
editing
soft frame = feminine
soft transitions - feminine (romantic challenges butch stereotype)
camera lingers on maud because its from her narrative (prominence) - sympathy is felt for her (victim)
mise en scene
feminine and gentle (promiscuous)
costumes are silken
prop - red paint = love and innocence
blurry mirror = shrouded sexuality
shadow on man = evil (heterosexual is a threat)
light on maud = innocent (homosexual is the victim)
sound
soft music - calming
voiceover - (prominence) makes you sympathise for her
changes to more dramatic music when the man is around (threat) creates drama (conflict between sexualities)
