Dr.Who


Mise-En-Scene

Costumes:

In the clip we see 5 different sets of characters, we see Martha who is wearing smart, non revealing clothes. This shows us that Martha is a serious character in the scene and isn't just there for the men to look at which is contrast to the women who is standing in the back of the scene not saying much but instead just standing there trying to look good. The women is in a red revealing dress which suggests to us that she is just there to look good and isn't a crucial character. we also see the master who is wearing a black suit and is portrayed as a very masculine character, he is the main character during the scene. The scene suggests he is the one with all the power and is the dominant person in the clip as he is standing over everyone speaking down on them. Further more we see 2 or 3 women standing at the back of the room wearing maid outfits, this suggests they are not very important people and are only considered to be there to help clean and not to say anything. We also see the Doctor in a very vulnerable position as we see him locked up in a cage as a very small helpless creature.

The master is shown to have the control as he has the sonic screwdriver which holds all the power which the doctor usually has but since he hasn't got it the doctor is shown to have zero power. although at the end the doctor gets the sonic screwdriver back and the roles are reversed.

throughout the clip the doctor is shown to be in very bright light even though he is vulnerable and is helpless, this suggests that he is the good person and is trying to stop the master who is the bad person, as he is shown in a dark light, from doing what he was planning to do which was destroy the Earth.


Sound:

Throughout the clip there is a lot of non digetic and digetic sound. the non-digetic sounds are things like; the soundtrack, robots talking, people talking around the world and the sound bridge which signifies the flashbacks. Where as the digetic sounds are things such as; laughing, talking, the countdown and the sound of the sonic screwdriver. the sound of the countdown is important as it gives the audience a sense of actually being there when its happening and therefor they start to feel tense and start to watch the clip closely to see what will happen next.

Camera work:

There are a variety of different camera shots that occur in the clip, for example; low angle shot, high angle shot, establishing shot, wide angle, medium close up and reverse angle shot. All these different shpts are useful as it gives a sense of purpose to the scene and allows the audience to know who is vulnerable and who is in charge.
