In this blog i will be reviewing a small clip from Primeval. I will be looking at the characters and using Mise-en-scene to identify the stereotypical representations of some of the characters. Above is a link to the clip that we watch in class.

Characters/costumes
There are 7 characters in this short clip, five men and two women.

Men    
All of the men in this scene apart from 1 are dressed in masculine cloths. The one that is dressed in more feminine such as a pink t-shirt, a scarf and a hat is portrayed as weaker than the others. He is dressed like this so that he comes across as weaker as those sort of cloths are a common stereotype that we all recognize. In this clip there is also a scene where one of the male characters is pointing a gun at a farmer, who is also holding a gun, and the man in the pink t-shirt is only holding a shovel as his weapon which suggests he is more vulnerable than the others.

Women
There are two women in this clip. One woman is dressed very femininely in a revealing dress, where are the other's dress sense is more masculine. The woman dressed more femininely is portrayed as being weaker than the other and you can tell this straight away just from what they are both wearing. The woman dressed in more masculine cloths is shown to be strong in this clip as she saves one of the men from the Sabre Tooth.
