How is gender represented.
Throughout the clip in Primeval, we see the use of the directors representation of gender. We are introduced to a female character with short blonde hair and she was wearing a black leather jacket. The connotation of this is that it could represent her persona, we are also shown how she is trying to save a male character from a wild tiger who is trying to attack him. She gets into a JCB digger to try and attack the tiger and lead him astray from the male character. This shows us that the woman has a tough role and is portrayed as one of the protagonists.
The attackee realises that the woman is putting herself in danger and gradually failing to push the tiger away, the male character distracts the tiger and makes him follow him. The disrectors intention could be that the male will always be the dominant figure who comes to the rescue and is concluded as the main protagonist.
We then see a scene where another man, dressed in dirty clothing who seems to be a woodchopper, being threatened by an arrogant yet elangant dressed woman, we see a close up on her which represients her importance. The male backfires and threatens to kill her, he throws her down to the ground and gets his shot gun. The character levels are being shown throughout this scene because the woman is now on the ground and male is standing up ubove her.
