a)The character Gene Hunt is presented as the head of the force and the main character in the scene. We see this as when Hunt is presented on screen low angle shots are shown to present his significance and importance of the situation. The shot creates the idea that Hunt is a God like character in the series. He is seen as the protagonist in the series.
When watching this scene, our perception of Gene Hunt changes all the time. We can say that he is clearly the boss of those of the same gender, he treats and speaks to them with a very impolite and harsh tone when talking to the villlain in the scene. However, perception of Hunt then are transformed as we see the villain being handcuffed by him and then we interpret that he is a positive character.
We see the care approaching in wild and fast manner which sugests that this could reflect the personality of Hunt himself. His driving reflects his chracter.
Hunt is wearing cowboy boots rather than the usual police uniform. This creates confusion about the occupation of Hunt the audience may be confused whether he is good or bad. From his materialistic items, we gather that he is headstrong, macho and butch man, an image which clearly reflects his personality. a) Done with Yasmin
b) Possible ways of dilluting the sour image of Hunt could be through the shots. For example, rather than having a shot of his feet, we could create a shot of his clean and fresh innocent face as opposed to the grumpy sour appearance. The editing could be less sharp as at the moment it consists of very sharp cross cutting, maybe the editing could be discretly cross cut to create more of a less macho atmosphere. The shot of him being God like and macho could be an eye level shot to dial down the machoness.
