humans

Van Zoonen 
- Male gaze
- Underlying frame of reference that women belong to the family and domestic life and men to the social world of politics and work
- Argues gender is constructed and that its meaning varies dependent on cultural and historical context
- She suggests that masculinity as well as femininity is constructed - and that the codes used to construct men 'as a spectacle'  are different

John Berger 
- Men act, women appear
- within a narrative it will be male characters who will drive the narrative forward

Humans:
- Ensemble cast
- Protagonist - Anita
- Around 20 main characters in first episode

 Story Arcs in Humans:
- Hawkins family
- Leo trying to find Anita
- George and Odi
- flashback Leo and Anita
- Niska in the brothel
- Fred in the plantation
- Matilda struggle with synth in the house
- Synths in the warehouse
- Detectives wife and synth
- Anita kidnaps sophie

How is Leo constructed in confrontation seen?
- Costume - casual, dull - rough and ready
- Looks threatening
- his hand gestures
- Close up of Leo getting in the persons face shows him threatening Salem Sadike
- unshaven shows his aggresion
- vocal delivery - stern and blunt
- His physical presence is using force
- Approaches Salem when he is vulnerable as his back is turned
- Anita is in a forest in the picture which is a binary opposition
- constructed more through the intradiegetic gaze - the way they are looked at by other characters

Humans starts in medias res which means it starts n the middle of the story, Anita belongs to a different story

 Concept of Hyperreality 
Hyper = (beyond) reality

Reality is too complicated
