Analysis of TV Drama

How is the representation of gender constructed in the text?

Camera:
Bird eye view- an extreme high-angle shot. I think the director used this shot to make it look more enjoyable. Another reason is to show the audience where the TV drama was set and the time it was set. For example, we can see an office building and we can see two yellow taxis, which suggest that the show was set in New York City. 

Establishing shot- a shot which establishes the setting for the scene. I think the director is trying to show the important figures and objects in the TV drama.

Crane shot- a shot created using a large camera mounting, capable of achieving high elevations and movements.

Tracking shot- a shot in which the camera moves to follow a sequence of action, placed usually on a dolly or specially prepared tracks. I think the director used this shot to show how busy the office was. 

Sound: 
Diegetic- sound which has a source on-screen. I think the director uses this sound, to build the scene. Also to show the different sounds that would be in an office. 

Non-diegetic sound- sound which does not have a source on-screen. 

Editing:
Shit-reverse-shot- when one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character.

Cut- an abrupt transition from one shot to another.
