Representation of gender: Dr. Who

When we see the doctor in the cage it is presented in a high angle shot. This connotes the doctor is weak. The idea of weakness is also portrayed in the CGI effect use to make the very old, alien looking doctor. His pose is very frail and makes him seem weak and vulnerable. This vulnerability goes against the set stereotype of males being strong characters, but since the one who trapped him is male it also backs it up. The high angle shot is also used throughout the first half of the clip when the villain is addressing the woman. This is used to show the villain has power and the woman does not in this situation, conforming with the common stereotype. Once the power begins to shift from the villain towards the woman as she unveils her plan to the villain, the editing changes to short, equal shots of both the man and woman. This equal screen-time connotes that both the man and woman are equal in this scene. The non-diegetic music also picks up at this point and helps with the idea of shifting power. As the woman speaks the music gets more intense. This may connote that the woman has power because it's as if she is controlling the music, even though it is non-diegetic.
