Mise En Scene (CLAMPS)

Actors-

Within this clip of Luther the actors are highlighted significantly in various ways, one of them being Gender. For example Idris Elba is the dominating figure and this is instantly shown throughout the title sequence, as his figure is outlined and shown repeatedly. There is a dominance of male actors within the opening of the TV drama, for example, the first actor shown is portrayed as a powerful man for positive reasons, however, this is later turned too a negative image for this actor as he carries out acts that make the vulnerable woman feel fearful.
