Torchwood Micro-Area Analysis of Sexuality!

Editing-
Shot Shot Duration- Towards the beginning of sequence. It created an urgency in the scene and helped keep the scene fast paced as it was not the main focus of the sequence.
Long Shot Duration- This was used in the scene when the two men were dancing. This created a calm and very intimate atomspohere as we saw the emotional connection between the 2 men for a long time!
Cuts- This was used through-out the whole sequence as it was just to show other parts of the scene. We also got to see reaction shots from the characters while in the cuts, we saw a mans dissaproval of what was happening between the 2 men as they both were portrayed at the repressed gay character.
180-Rule- This was used as the couple were dancing. It helped the audience not get confused and have a switch in the way we saw the male leads.

Camerawork-
Close up- These were used in the kissing part of te sequence. we saw the passion and emotion of the 2 men up close.
Long Shot- We saw this when the main male was walking towards the other main male lead, in this we ee that he is a repressed gay character as he seems like a hetrosexual character from his apperence. In this part of the sequence we also see an Eyeline Match, we see the male lead look beyond the camera, it then panned over to see the other male lead. This created some intimacy as we saw the way the characters were looking at each other.
Tracking- This was used as the couple were dancing and amde the audience feel like they were more involved, it also allows us to see both male leads facial expressions.

Sound-
Parellel Sound- This was heard when the two male leads were dancing together, it matched what was happening on-screen and added to the romance especially because it was live and calming. This was diagetic sound.
Non-diagetic- The music from when they were dancing switched into non-diagetic which made the scene more personal and intimate for the characters as it seemed like they were in there own "bubble" with music even though they could not hear that music.

Mise-en-Scene-
Location- The location seemed to be in a resturant, which we sometimes associate to intimate dates. There was live slow music playing which added to the sexual tension
Costume- Both male leads were dressed in a masculine way, so this showed that both characters were repressed gays and were not open about their sexual orientation.
Lighting- The lighting was very high-key on the male leads, this emphasized there importance to the scene and the emotion. The rest of the characters were in low-key lighting as they are not as important and dont bring much emotion and sexual tension to the scene
