We have used proxemic codes when both Amy and Rory are standing either side of the door, both close as they can to it, this shows that they do have a close relationship as they are facing each other, really close together but there is something between them (the door).
When Amy and Rory are next to the door they are both facing each other while they are having their conversation.
The first shot we chose was a low angle shot of the Doctor, which gave the Doctor power. After, a high angle shot of Rory was used to make Rory seem weak as he was getting emotional. A high angle shot of Amy was used to also make her look weak. There was another high angle shot of Rory to again make him look weak while he was struggling with his decision. Another high angle shot of Amy is used when she admits to herself that the other Amy is in there with hi. High angle shot's are used again when both Amy and Rory are upset, this really makes them look weak here. The Doctor is the most powerful character all the way through the sequence, he is given power not only from using a low angle shot on him but he is given even more power from the fact both of the other two characters have a lot of high angle shot's used on them which makes the Doctor a lot more powerful.
In the second shot, a close up is used of Rory's face. Then in the third shot, another close up is used but of the Doctor's face. The fourth shot shows another close up of Rory's face while he is crying. The seventh and eighth shots are both close up's of Amy's face, one in which she is crying in. Then in the ninth shot, a close up of Rory is used, his face, showing him crying. The eleventh shot is again a close up of Rory's face while he doesn't know what to do and is upset and what his decision has to make on. The thirteenth shot is also a close up but of Rory's hand as he is locking the door so that Amy can not come in. The fifteenth shot is a close up of Rory's face and then the sixteenth of Amy's face. The last seventeenth shot is of Rory's eyes as he is crying which shows the audience the emotion. In this scene a lot of close up's were used as it was a very emotional and intense scene.
The movement between the shots at first was quite fast as the conversation was intense between the Doctor and Rory as Rory had to start making his decision. But then the rest of the scene was quite slow movements as it was very emotional.

Your gender is your stereotypical behaviour and your sex is whether you're male or female.
1940/1950's - women were there to look at and to just agree with whatever the male said.
We watched a video clip and picked out the differences between then and now:
- the man proposes then
- the man was in the driving seat
- the man worked while the woman works as his wife at home
- man is active and powerful
- woman is submissive and expects the marriage proposal
- the man got the women fired but she wasn't bothered by it, she was happy
We decided that you can say if editing looks masculine or feminine.

Traditional Masculinity in HBO ROME
This shot is another close up showing emotion - impatience.
Traditional Masculinity, Male Gaze, Modern Masculinity, Post Feminism
Male Gaze
Male Gaze was how men looked at women, how women looked at themselves and how women look at each other. To show this, we watched a film clip which showed us that in TV Drama's the woman was less dominant as before she came out she had to be introduced instead of just coming out. Then they had close up's of the female's body, showing that her beauty was there to look at, giving her less power and almost making her look stupid. They used a snake as a phalic object around her body. Although they were trying to show that this female was only there to look at she sure showed and gained back her power when all the men in the room stopped what they were doing to stare at her and would do whatever she said, like they were under her power. She pushed them around and they didn't say or do anything about it.
Traditional Masculinity
Traditional Masculinity was about how men were powerful and violent. They were all aggressive and all wanted to each look like they were better than one another. This was shown in the clip 'Rome' in which we looked at the men out fighting and how they showed their power and aggression to one another. Low angle shots were used to make some characters look more dominant and high angle shots to make some look less important. The editing creates the scene and it is confusing and fast. It was very aggressive and each man was told what to do which shows the violence. They are all powerful as a team, when they work together. The leader is made to look powerful with the low angle shots and when he stands closer to the camera. No pain or weaknesses are shown.
Modern Masculinity
Modern Masculinity shows how men have changed and how our views on them have changed too. Before, we would only see them looking strong, powerful and violent but in this clip we saw them acting in what we would class as a more feminist way. For example we saw each of them, crying and hugging one another, usually this would have been classed as a stereotypical women way to act. We are also shown this from when the man is sitting on the toilet and is looking through a furniture magazine choosing what furniture would suit him and would look nice in his house, usually you would see females acting in this way. It is also shown a lot in the bit where neither of the two men have been in a fight before so they want to fight each other to say that they have done this, which shows that men no longer have fights and are as violent as we used to see them.
Post Feminism
Post Feminism is where we see how the opinion of females being submissive changes and shows how they are actually very important and they are given a strong role. We see this with a Doctor Who clip in which the women saves the Doctor and she does this by using violence. It also puts men down as the Doctor is saying how he doesn't agree on violence and is asking what she is doing. However, it makes the female look independent as she is the one defending. The other female in this scene shows her power over the men as she is beautiful and with their lust towards her, they forget what they are supposed to be doing and are concentrated on her. They were drawn to her beauty which makes the male's look stupid as they have no control which gives the female more power.
