Mock- The Hustle Clip

Screening 1-

The clip begins with a long shot which is on the man who works in the store. The man goes up to an older woman who is a customer and shows a judging look as if she can't afford the dress she is looking at. The store owner shows his masculine side by standing above the woman making her feel belittled, in the background a younger customer comes in wearing a very expensive ring and he suggests a designer dress this is where is post masculine side comes out. The key representations of characters in this scene is the store owner who is post masculine, the customer who is feminine as she acts very feminine as when she looses her ring she says her husband will kill her suggesting she's under control but she also shows post femininity by the way she seems in control of the sale. Another key character that is represented is the man who claims he finds the missing ring he is masculine as he stands his ground and acts like the alpha male. The representation of the rich woman is negative as she seems stuck up also the first viewing of the shop keeper when he speaks to the older woman he seems like he does not want her service as she does not look like the rich kind which brings the audience to feel some sympathy for her. Yes the use of naturalism is used everyone acts very natural just like they would in a regular shop.

Screening 2-

The key status characters are the store owner, the rich lady customer and the man who claims he found the ring. The status of the store owner changes slightly as he is post masculine and then he begins to change and try to be masculine in the disagreement with the man but when the man proves his masculinity the store owner goes back to post masculine male. The diegetic music starts at the very beginning of the clip and ends at 0.17 seconds it does this to introduce the clip before the characters begin talking. The camera is mainly stable however when they're searching for the ring it looks as though the camera becomes slightly unsteady. An unusual camera shot I picked up was when a couple of the characters looked at the camera and spoke to it. The shot reverse shots were obvious editing as they don't tend to take much editing so you can tell when they have been edited.

Is it marketable?

What influence does it have on society?

Disability

Gender- the husband is a power and controlling man, typically like a man from many years ago when the men would go to work and the women would stay home and do the house work.

The wife seems weak and scared she also seems like a typical house wife who stays home and looks after the children.

The man seems like an average worker man who is sneaky and also as if he is unhappy in his own marriage and when he sees the woman and man argue he thinks it gives him chance to go with the wife and he has an affair with her.

Ethnicity- the ethnicity of these characters are English, they're all British.

Social class- the social class of the characters is working class, they're a typical old fashioned family where the husband goes out to work and earns the money.

Camera shots- there are lots of camera shots for example the close up camera shot this is where you are close to the characters face and body but not close enough to see extreme facial features. There is the extreme close up which is where you are so close to the characters face or body and can see features. There is the distant camera shot which can be from shot from another room for example the camera peering through into the next room in which the character would be in. There is also the mid close up where you are close but also a good distance from the character.

Angle- there are many angles for example the angles where the camera follows the characters around and also the different angles when using a camera in certain rooms or multiple cameras. 

Sound- there is intense music in the scene where the burst pipe is building up which creates tension and suspense build up. There is also shouting which creates the drama aspect of the tv show. There are cars honking their horns in the accident scene which creates a lot of drama and tension as it all blends with the sounds. The ambulance horns in the accident scene creates the drama and the most dramatic scene has just occurred.

Location- the location is an average street possibly in London. The props used is a typical house with typical household supplies. Lighting- there is a mixture of lighting for example in some scene there is a lot of light whereas in other scene it is slightly dimmer lighting to create the mood. The costumes the characters wear are average everyday clothes and work clothes.

Reflection of reality- it is a good reflection of reality as there are family arguments like there would be in real life also the children go to school and the dad goes off to work whilst the mum stays at home and does housework they also live a very average everyday life.

Sexuality- the sexuality of the characters is straight. Also the man and the wife are having an affair.

It is marketable as it is realistic and also dramatic and creates suspense so people want to watch it more as it is a reflection of people's real lives, therefore a producer would want to invest in the tv show. 

The influence on society makes women look weak and un faithful and it also makes men look strong and violent and they also look very overpowering.

Disability- the young girl who was bit by the car could have a possible disability.

Editing- the editing is done very well, all the scenes blend very neatly and very well there is no skipping from one scene to another it all connects and creates a smooth scene.

Representation- the tv show is represented well and is very much like daily life for a family with money issues, however there is a lot more drama included in the tv show than there would be in real life to create the entertainment side to it.
