how is gener represented within this clip taken from Holby City?

The shot opens with a overhead tilted angle shot, which enters the scene as you are looking in on the situation as a CCTV camera. This is an establishing shot that and it shows as soon as the you see the surroundings that the situation that is about to occur will be bad as the camera is tilted and also that you are looking at the situation from an angle that is not normal almost as you are spying in the events. Also there is a sign in the corner of the opening shot of a sign saying 'way out' this states what he wants in his relationship with her before anything is said. Whent he argument occurs there is many over the shouklder shots and they also use just a reaction shot with not the view of the person talking to focus on the effects of the words that he is saying to her. Also when the two men are having an argument there is a low angled shot to show dominance but the camera is tilted as it shows that he is out of character, trying to be bigger than he really is to stand up and try and show off in front of the girl he loves. whilst it shows her view of the situation behind the window. they also use another behind the window shot when at the end of the scene he is confessing his love to her. but they show this behind the window to show the situation has a sense of privacy and like you are listening in to something that you shouldnt be. Also when the two men are talking and interacting the camera shows older the shoulder shots unfocusing them and focusing on what they are talking about which int his case was a patient, this also shows the hustle and bustle of the hospital making it have a busy feel and showing the reality of a hospital. It also shows tilting shots as they look each other up and down.
The first male representation is presented in a commanding and confident way. he over powers the woman giving her orders not just talking to her.  the camera tilts up to him like he is dominant and is controlling the situation. there is also a lot of zoomed in facial shots to show the emotion of the tense situation. He starts and finishes the conversation in a strong manor. He is the strongest character in the whole scene as even when the man tries to stand up to him he shuts him down and even dodges his punch and gives him orders after he has been had a go at and does not get affected by the speech he has just heard, he belittles the man as he leaves the situation. He also makes the woman cry as you see an arial shot of her crying on the stairs, this shows a crumbling emotional wreck. Meanwhile he is still walking around not caring about the two people he has just hurt. The other woman is shown in bed vunerable, there is nothing she can do to solve her situation and she has someone stand up for her as she is to shy and weak to do so herself. So in this case the women are shown as the weaker specimen than the men as th are controlled by the men. The man also stands up to her as he states to her what she should feel and shows her that she is in love with the wrong person and how she should be in love with him. This shows that she was to afraid to be alone and needs someone to protect her from the outside world. Also at the end the most dominant male apologises to the vunerable woman as he feels that he has hurt her feeling and he knows that she is insecure from her surgery int he first place and for it to go wrong and for him to apologise it shows that he has emotions and is not a cold man. There is also homoerotic behaviour between the two men talking about their sports and they relate rugby to pullign down mens shorts and discussing which one of their sports were the most feminine. But they were almost competing on their masculinanity and how many bones they had broke, having subtle flirting although one had a girlfriend, who cuts straight past them in the next scene to show the sneakyness of the situation.
The mise-en-scene includes the characters costumes which were mainly doctor scrubs and patient gowns which shows iconography but the consultants wear no uniform which shows that they have dominance and power in the hospital. Also there is no backing music which shows more reality of the situation as you can hear more footsteps etc. which is like a real hospital. There is also the stereotypical hospital with the long corridors and the patients rooms and the reception desks. The rooms are well lit with natural light through huge wndows and gives a more clean feel to the environment.
All these points show that in this scene that males are shown as higher and more powerful than woman and hows women are vunerable and weak. As there was no anomolies in the situation and the males showed dominance throughout the scene.
