SOUND
in shop - up lifting but mysterious
in the bar scene the sound picks up when the dialogue dies down but at the beginning when they speak there is no backing track of sound due to the importance of the dialogue
when the woman is panicking and he tries ever so hard to take control when she finally stops panicking and gives him the power in the shot of dialogue a rewind zip sort of sound appears this emphasising the change in power over this specific frame
as the woman exists the shop a trumpet based tune comes into play in the background shows the first part of their hustle has been completed by her role as a distressed woman
CAMERA
EDITING
shop - to show a difference in time a black wave appears over the screen then the next scene appears but this is only when the scenes appear in the same location
a transition appears when going from the bar to the shop as a very speedy zip motion including sound
MISE-EN-SCENE
Characters -
older lady in shop - never really show her face directly and the camera is angled to be able to see the man and the other woman as they as the main attractions of this shot
post masculine male working in shop -post masculine male - challenges stereotype - over friendly - well dressed - sarcastically demines the older woman 'little too rich for Madame' but still withholds his well mannered persona due to the nature of his job but when not in work he would most likely be of the same class as the older woman - medium close up most of the time showing the only importance he holds to the shots is the dialogue of his job - when woman panics he just hurries along after her not taking control of the situation which challenges his stereotype
sex object woman in shop - normally always close up shots or medium long shots to either emphasise her body or face as these are what carries her characters power - always a very stern pouted look until she gets attention therefore giving her power, even when the post masculine male character is talking the camera is shot from over his shoulder looking at her face and reaction to what he is saying emphasising the importance of her character and the authority she holds over him as if it werent for her his job wouldnt have much importance right now - money is the power - this character impowers her 'wealth' and plays the role so much she nearly overdoes the stereotype - when the woman loses her ring she woman panics in hysterics - looks down onto the older woman showing a representation of how she thinks of herself to be better than the woman due to there differences in class but due to the fact this woman can not hear the dialogue about struggling to be able to pay she pressumes her working class status by what she is wearing and her mannerisms compared to herself who in her role of this hustle seems to be of a middle class status
older man stereotypically masculine male - well spoken well dressed
other man same but less power over ^ - the younger man never looks directly at the older mans face until he looks away himself showing he may feel intimidated or nervous which is not a stereotypical feature for a man to have - this is due to the power the older man has over him - but this could also be looked at as if the younger man is just irritated by what the man has to say
man who enters shop is very stereotypical - 'new bird' mans man could be seen as a player - challenges the post masculine male - very well dressed shows hes probably a working business man due to him being in a suit and it is shown to be during the day somehow
man doing technical - less power over the shots as he only has one scene - very masculine stereotypically due to him doing the manual labour part of the hustle - but when the alarm sounds he in a panic grabs a pillow to cover the sound which is not the most masculine of items- very fast scene - the camera moves very fast paning over his actions but due to the speed this is seen as more of a blur
