hustle

Media hustle video

In the hustle video the is a stereotypical post masculine man and a traditional woman the traditional woman reinforces her stereotype because of the outfit she is wearing, being very dressed up, spending £3,000 on a dress and rushing to the hair dressers and the way she panics when she loses her ring and says that her husband will be really annoyed with her. The man goes against the stereotype of a man because he acts very feminine, you can see that he is feminine by the way he speaks and that he works in a women’s dress shop and he looks like he puts a lot of attention into his appearance. 

Normally genders are opposites but because he is a post masculine man and she is a traditional woman they are very similar.

It is shot in a shop that seems very upper class and the people seem very posh and posh people stereotypically very feminine, you don’t see many traditional men in posh places especially

The music is very calm and calm music is more feminine. The way that the man speaks to the other woman he seems to be in control and the monologue he uses he is very snobby and he acts like a woman with the way he patronises the customer.

The camera angle makes him look powerful compared to the first customer and he is also the motivation of the cut. The way it’s edited it’s very feminine because it is very slow. Not fast and on the edge like a masculine edit would be.

The composition of the shot makes the man and woman seem very similar and it makes it look like they share the power in the situation. The lighting is very bright which makes it feel tense and it is also tense when the second customer and the man have eye contact for the first time and they use a close up on both sets of eyes.
