Representation of Gender



Status of characters 
Docter- he is shown at first to be the weakest than most of the other characters due to him being in a cage, however when everyone is saying Doctor his status rises as his body changes back to his normal form and is flying.The Doctor is the protagonist, the typical savior and hero like a holiy figure which could be shown by he keeps saying "i am sorry" showing that regret of what he is doing, giving us an idea of dislikes violents.
 
 
Master- he is shown to have a high status as he is in control of the situation by him laughs at and mocks Marther, The weak doctor and everyone else in the room, but when the Doctor's status rises, his status drops quickly shown by him walking backwards and by him panicing saying "you can't do this". He is shown to be a typical antagonist as he seems to have a plan which he believes can't be stopped but is later defeated.
 
 
 
Marther- she shown to be at her mercy as she is giving up, do this for her famliy so at the start her status is low as has to bow to the Master but has trobule doing this showing she hate what she is doing , however when she is explaining her plan and she tricked the Master, she is shown to be strong and impowered shown by flashback of her walking through heavy snow. Marther is a heroin, but is isnt the typical one that needs help all the time as shet helps the Doctor who is at this point weak.
 
 
Stereotypes within characters

It is contradicted as the female is normally the heroin is the one who is in need saving but here the protagonist is the one that needs to be saved, so in a matter of speaking the roles have been reversed. The master on the over hand is more of a stereo typical character has he like most villans believes he can never be defeated and that his plan is flawless and end with he failing in a tyical villan fashion as he keeps repeating words like "No", You can't do this" and "How?"
Status shown with camera shots
The angling of behind marther showing the Master on the staiws makes the masters status high and higher then Marther  as the shot makes the Master taller than her. The close up of the Master were he has his head up and is looking down at marther makes his status higher as the looking down at marther shows domaints over her and that he is in a high class then her. The close up on marther's face from above lowers her status as she is looking up to her new Master showing she is less domaint than him.
