The Hustle Notes

•  The woman looks scruffy with grey messy hair, plain cheap clothes, not kept up with her appearance (no makeup etc) portraying she is poor.

• The blonde woman is pretty and slim dressed smartly with nice hair and makeup, taking pride in her appearance. Stereotype of women-sex object- loves clothes.

• The camera focuses on the wedding rings the poor woman's a cheap plain one but the blonde woman's a big expensive one with lots of diamonds - symbolizes she is rich.

• When the camera is on the poor woman even though she is talking the camera is on the shop assistant and the back of her showing he holds the power. When on her face it is a high shot so looking down on her like she has no power or authority.

• The music is quite jolly and jazzy when first starting then goes quiet when the poor lady is talking then stops when she is not able to buy anything but goes back to how it was when she leaves and the shop assistant goes to talk to blonde woman. 

• Shows a lot of close ups and center shots of the rich woman showing her dominance and power in the shop.

• The poor woman's voice is quiet and comes across as shy and not much confidence but the blonde woman's voice is seductive and she comes across very confident. 

• The shop assistant is presented nicely in a suit, talks nicely and stands tall but is not the stereotypical male - post masculine male.

• The shop assistant is only interested when the person has money, shows no interest in the poor woman as he knows she cant afford anything but is very nice to the rich lady.

•  Blonde woman wears a revealing black dress that is tight with all the back open while making seductive sounding noises - sex object.

• Blonde woman knows what shes talking about in the shop. 

•  Plain scruffy looking man with casual clothes smoking looks working class but older man sitting next to him dressed nicely in a suit shows he has a bit more money.

• Shows them drinking whiskey- manly drink- manly trait. 

• Rich woman suddenly becomes vulnerable when loosing ring and in need of the mans help.

• The camera shots become quick and it is to show the panic of the woman even though she still owns the scene. 

• Shows her dominance when ordering the shop assistant what to do to find her ring.

• Shows she is very rich, maybe too rich when she offers £5000 cash which is not particularly necessary but shop assistant is suddenly more interested in finding it- wants the money.

• Close up of her face when leaving looks suspicious and mischievous. 

• Man has a shirt on but scruffy hair working for rich man - working class.

• Wants to impress the man he is working for so hangs up quickly when it goes wrong. The man he is working for is more dominant even though on the phone as he is scared to not do the job right.

• Shows the two men together in the shot showing their close relationship of them enjoying themselves with the happy music.

• Shows a man well presented in a suit, shows the fact he has nice shoes so shop assistant is interested. Is quite laid back but confident.

• Blonde man holds power over shop assistant as he has what the other wants.

• Shop assistant desperate for money by trying to trick the person he found it as he wants the money.

• The way he slaps his arm is quite patronizing showing he is more dominant.

• Same woman at the end but different color hair tricked shop assistant for money.
