Universal Studios

Founded in 1912 by Carl Buttman,^[1] it is one of the oldest American movie studios still in continuous production. On May 11, 2004, the controlling stake in the company was sold by Vivendi Universal to General Electric, parent of NBC.^[2] The resulting media super-conglomerate was renamed NBC Universal, while Universal Studios Inc. remained the name of the production subsidiary. In addition to owning a sizable film library spanning the earliest decades of cinema to more contemporary works, it also owns a sizable collection of TV shows through its subsidiary NBC Universal Television Distribution. It also acquired rights to several prominent filmmakers' works originally released by other studios through its subsidiaries over the years.

How's the representation of gender constructed in Primeval?

the 2nd scene opens with a mid shot of the blond guy in a what we'd call an exotic location -a small forest- covered with mud and a close up of a girl manipulating a tractor, the representation of the woman manipulating the tractor go against the general stereotype of women playing the damsel in distress as she doesn't look like she needs any help and she knows what she's doing in contrast to the man who looks puzzled and confused when he hear the sabre tooth tiger coming form far. we also have a couple of low angle shots of the man in wall which emphasises his position of weakness throughout this scene, we can see a clear role reversal there. we also have a long shot of the girl shooting the tiger from far, this shows how confidence although she misses her target, then the camera tilts from right to left in a low angle to show us the group of heroes who are manly men with girl at the end to show that she plays a heroin in the extract. We can tell that by her costume and makeup, she has short blond hair and she's wearing a leather jacket and she barely has any makeup on, this gives her some manly qualities or attributes however in the last scene, the woman with long hair clearly fulfils the stereaotype of women being the damsel in dietress when we have a low angle shot of her laying on the floor with the man pointing his gun at her, being manipulative in her dialogue as she tries to get the man assume the responsabilities for something he didn't do and finally her makeup which makes her look like a femme fatale.
The editing manly favorises the man with the blond hair who seems to be principal hero in the extract as we always get a clear view of him in each scene, and whenever he speaks it's always to give an order - ''no, no  don't... we have to finds her...put your gun down...'' the fast pace editing not only emphasises how fast the blonde man is when he tries to escape from the sabre tooth tiger but also how agile the woman is to try and keep on the track with the events and this set equal representation of both genders.
In terms of sound the dialogue is very effective in constructing the representation of gender the blonde girl doesn't speak a lot, her actions speak for her, while the blond guy is the one who's panting, shouting to her what to do; her speach is always short and doesn't have more than 4 words, so she has all the attributes of a manl hero. The woman in the barn's dialogue with the fat man, suggest that she's been given the possition of power as she's so confident and a bit arrogant in what she says. And her complainning about ruining her best coat always makes her fit the stereotype of women being quite vain, given that she nearly died! 

how does the sound help to construct the representation of disability.

There's a complete absence of soundtracks for the first 3 minutes of the sequence, and that help in creating the mood and emphasising the awkwardness of every single scene and the ambience of the flat is very quiet!
- Dialogue: the actors' dialogue is a succession of unfinished sentence like "shall i... erm please... dad...'' that helps creating some kind of tension as no one really knows what to say or how to anything view the awkwardness of the situation.
- The very distinct sound the closing and the girl locking it also helps in occasioning the boy's anxiousness as he feels vulnerable being alone in that room the girl.
-The sound that comes out of the radio was deliberately chosen to create some kind of in-synchronisation with the atmosphere or the dad's mood to highlight his anxiousness.
-a sound bridge starts from the end of dad's scene on the car to the call girl and the boy in the room, this helps in creating some kind of sadness to make the audience feel kind of pity towards the boy. And we notice that it's the harmonica playing, and usually instruments such as harmonica or violent are used to create a sad atmosphere.  

Sound

The sound is what builds tension and sets the mood in a movie.

-Diegetic sound: it's the sound within the world of the movie(story)

-Non diegetic sound: it's the sound from out side, the sound that the audience can hear but the actual characters in the story can't hear it.

-Soundtrack: Score music(the music written a specific movie, it's the sound chosen to go with a particular scene to set the mood)

-Sound effects:it's the sound of things that are quite difficult to achieve during the shooting of a particular scene in the movie, so it's the sound added in the post-production to create drama.

-Them music: it's the soundtrack which goes with certain situations or characters.

i.e: Estenders' theme music or MI theme music

-Ambient sound: it's the natural background music.The sound from the environment.

-Dialogue: the actors' speech (always try to pick the different accents if possible, intonation - representation)

-Sound bridge: it's the soundtrack that start at the end of one scene to set the mood for the next scene. It helps in with the continuity or to make the story flow.

-an eye line match to emphasise the awkwardness of the situation s the girl looks asks for her money.
-an action match as the takes the money from the back of the boy's wheelchair to emphasise that awkwardness.
a shot reverse shot drawing attention to the boy's feeling of vulnerability as the girl locks the door.
-many long takes (slow paced) are used to generate a feeling of anxiety .
-the 180 degree rule has been established so the audience so the audience don't get confused or anything about the two characters' position
-in the next scene we have an eye line match of the dad looking up the window and this is to highlight his anxiety about how his son must be feeling at that moment.
-a sery of jump cuts follow that shot to emphasise his uncertiny as he's seating on the car doing differents things to kill time or to try to relax.
-then there's a cross cuting which emplies what is happening in the room a the time.
teh edit priviledges the master shot which is the shot of teh girl leanning toward the boy, it shows the getting getting more and more comfortable as she understand the boy now.
