Question 2

Audiences are adapting and changing the way they consume media and the 
nature of audience consumption has now differentiated. An increase in the qualityof technology has occurred and also an increase in the amount of people who own TV's, Bluray players and computers as also taken place considerably. This increases the opportunities for people to watch films on a variety of sources, 
therefore resulting in lesser use of the cinema.

     Personally, when I was younger I used to visit the cinema on a weekly basis 

and got a thrill of going there. Even to this day I thoroughly enjoy the overall 

experience of the cinema. The sheer size of the television adds a completely new dimension to watching films as things are so much more entertaining and interested on a larger screen. Also the atmosphere in the screenings are considerably tense, depending on the film you see, but when a certain event happens and a 

specific reaction is provoked, this reaction can spread from one person to the 

whole audience. However, due to an increase in ticket costs and the extortionate 

prices of products on sale such as food and drink, my visits to the cinema have 

decreased and these visits are considered more of a treat. 

     Exhibition companies (cinemas) have added new aspects to the experience of watching a film in order to attract the audiences making the experience more 

appealing. Cinemas have introduced technology such a 3D screenings which 

attracts a wider audiences. From my point of view 3D screenings are one of the 

best ways to watch a film is it allows the audience to feel as they are involved and interacting more with the film. Despite this being included in the cinema 

experience I have a 3D TV at home which takes away my need to go to the 

cinema for this aspect. But I would strongly recommend people who do not have 

the access to to a 3D TV to go to the cinema and see a film in 3D. Also I can view films in many ways in the environment and comfort of my home. I have several 

TV's linked with a Sky box which allows me with access to Sky Box Office, 

providing me with thousands of the latest films which I can buy or rent and watch as many times I wish by a specific date. However, this sometimes is not as 

successful as people may not wish to view a film several times. Also there is many films on demand which I can watch for free. I use this access very 

frequently, almost everyday as it provides a wide range of films to watch from 

countless genres, satisfying my needs for a variety of films to watch.

   

     Internet availability now comes in abundance for a much wider audience. 

Many people would posses many devices in their household which allows them to watch films on the internet. This could include vices such as computers, phones, iPads, Kindles etc. which provide service to buy/rent films or eve watch/download movies on unlicensed sites for free. These are usually referred to illegal 

downloads. The increase in internet access around the world can account for 

more successful advertising being produced by marketing companies. They have 

various methods to increase/raise the awareness and target an audience for their film. One method can be producing trailers to watch on the internet and sites such as YouTube. Allowing the audience to have an insight to the film. Adverts have 

also managed to creep into social networking which furthers the distribution 

company's success. Also the number of TV's per household has increased, 

distribution companies have a larger opportunity to present their films to a 

worldwide audience by displaying trailers during breaks/ adverts between 

programmes. Providing publicity which reaches more institutions.

     Production companies also target specific audiences and create a film which 

can relate and suit their targeted audience best. This can result in better feedback as the audience will generally enjoy the film. As films are created accordingly to 

their targeted audience, more viewers of that institution will either watch the film at the cinema or in any of the other ways above. For example, when a new horror 

film gets released I usually attend the cinema with my girlfriend and watch it. 

Simply because I know vaguely what the film will consist of and I have a rough 

idea that I will enjoy it. This is due to most production companies in the horror 

industry will target certain people in my age bracket and specifically young 

couples.

     Sites such as Netflix and LoveFilm provide millions of viewers worldwide to 

watch the latest films for free as long as they have a membership and pay a fixed amount per month. The downside of these sites is the substantial waiting time 

between the film release and the moment it becomes available on the site. So 

from this perspective it is best to go to the cinema as it allows you to watch the 

latest films much sooner or even at their first screening. Companies such as 

these reduce the quantities of people visisting the cinema as they provide the 

same access but in the environment of a home or any environment where internet is available. Therefore, cinemas have acted upon this increase in popularity by 

introducing new ways to watch films from different perspectives. Such as 

introducing seats in the cinema which move and vibrate accordingly to the action on the screen, providing with much greater entertainment and engagement. This aspect can appeal to a larger audience as it allows them to view films in a new 

dimension. However, a downside of this would be that the prices of the tickets are higher than standard costs. 

     Different types of people watch specific genres of film for a variety of reasons. Some families like to attend the cinema to watch a film together as it is deemed as a treat. Younger audiences stereotypically chose to watch films that appeal to 

them such as horror and action films. This is because they satisfy their needs for entertainment and thrill. Thrill is specifically associated with teenagers.

Representation of Regional Identity

In this essay I will show the representation of regional identity in the clip in relation to Mise-en-scene, sound, camera work and sound

In the opening scene of the short clip regional identity is displayed immediately through 

a low angled shot from the level of the plumbers looking up at Doc Martin implying that he has a greater status. It is also straight away represented through the characters dialogue where distinct accents are used to imply the areas where they're from. Doc Martin's accent is significant ; it differs majorly from the other characters as his accent would be associated with a 'londoner'. He has an educated posh accent whereas the two plumbers have a very distinct accent which is usually associated with a rural county. The other characters all have the same southern accents which implies that Doc Martin is out of place in relation to his regional identity. Doc Martin's vocabulary, which is shown through dialogue, is seemingly intellectual posh whereas the elder plumber is portrayed to be less intelligent as he struggles to put a sentence together and uses regional dialect. However, the younger plumber uses very intellectual vocabulary which demonstrates how he is seen to be educated unlike the other plumber and therefore confronts the stereotype of his region. Also the recognition that the younger plumber refers to the elder as 'dad' through speech represents that they have a small family business which is usually associated in small rural areas. The jobs they do further the identity of their region. They are shown to be plumber through the use of costume. Doc Martin is wearing a suit which implies that he is a business man who would stereotypically work in urban areas. The other two characters' are dressed in dark all-in-ones which define that they're plumbers. The costumes distinguish the difference in regional identity between people from urban and rural areas.

The identities of the two sets of characters can be represented by the body language 

acquired to them displayed through a long shot. Doc Martin is shown as uptight and tense where the plumbers are laid back and the elder plumber isn't doing any work. When the elder plumber picks up a piece of equipment (prop) and begins to work he breaks the sink straight away. When the sink breaks, Doc Martin reacts seriously and quickly which is shown through medium and close up shots which make his body language and facial expressions clear. Whereas as the plumbers, who are supposed to know what they're doing, are slow to react and the elder plumber in particular is laid back about the situation. Despite the fact that Doc doesn't know the term used to describe the equipment needed he improvises and grabs a pillow to to the water. The editing in this scene associates a fast and frantic pace displayed through many cuts between close up shots emphasising their actions associated with Doc Martin. A slow pace with the other characters to show the difference in lifestyle between them. The prop of the dog also represents to region where the clip is set; the fact that it is has no collar implies that it is left to roam around the streets, emphasising the culture and nature of the area.

The next scene begins with a tracking shot which follows Doc Martin walking with the 

dog in the previous scene and it also has a non-diegetic background soundtrack which contributes to the regional identity of the clip and provides it with a rural/country feel. The setting shown in the tracking shot contributes further to the regional identity as it is made up of very narrow streets and many small, old looking attached houses which represents a small rural area. Also the prop of fishing nets being sold outside a small corner shop is included on this shpt and is equally significant. They define the location of the setting extremely well and imply that it is set in a rural area near the beach. The pace of the scene is once again slow, it is visible through the tracking shot that there are not many people walking about and it is relatively calm and relaxed which adds to the regional identity. The diegetic sound of a sea gull also contributes as it represents a location which is very rural and near a beach.

Another tracking shot from a side on angle is then used when Doc Martin takes the dog to the police station. This in itself  conveys the calm/relaxed nature of the area as it seems very safe as the main things the police have to deal with is stray dogs. A camera tilt helps display that a hoover is used as a prop to show the calm atmosphere of the area as the policeman, who is dressed in a police uniform which is also shown of by a camera tilt, is hoovering instead of stopping crimes. Shot reversal is then used to display the conversation between the two. The character's speech of the policeman knowing Doc Martin's name, despite it being the first time they have met, suggests that the location is small as everyone knows everyone. The policeman also has the same accent as the plumbers which therefore adds to the regional identity of the clip.

A two/tracking shot is used to show the conversation between Doc Martin and another 

person who lives in the area. This shot shows off the setting which consists of narrow streets and small houses but it also shows a landscape in the background which represents the 

rural location of the clip.This idea is furthered due to the apparent diegetic sound of sea 

gulls heard. Also once again another person already knows of Doc Martin without meeting 

which shows that the location is small. The accent of the women is different to the other 

people around the area and is more similar to Doc Martin’s. This suggest that she is 

educated and is also implies that she has moved to this area as she opposes the stereotype of women in the area.The prop of a prescription pad and a pen is also shown in the tracking shot to illustrate Doc Martin’s job as a doctor and furthers the impression that he is educated and intellectual. The editing and pace of this clip is seemingly slower which implies that Doc Martin is coming to terms with the lifestyle and nature of the area.

The ending scene off this clip consists of a two shot showing a conversation between Martin and an elderly woman who is emptying crates of vegetables out the back of a van. The 

prop of the crates of vegetables assists in creating the regional identity as it represents that food is grown and distributed locally which usually occurs in a rural area. The fact that an 

old woman is delivering food adds to the regional identity of the clip. Stereotypically elder 

people move to more rural areas for the relaxed lifestyle which is demonstrated throughout 

the whole clip. The woman mentions the word ‘skulking’ and ‘skulks’ which is regional 

dialect. Also the first sight of a sea gull is introduced right at the end which confirms the 

location of the setting. Finally the clip ends with a pan which shows of the setting; the setting itself illustrates the narrow roads with old looking houses which is associated with rural areas.

To conclude, this clip has a specific regional identity which is demonstrated through Mise-en-scene, camera work, sound and editing. This clip's regional identity relates heavily to rural areas close to beach. The areas can be specified due to the accents of the people around the area. Also regional identity of educated urban areas are represented in Doc Martin and the female character who asks for a prescription.

Representation of Disability

Camera work contributes significantly towards the representation of disability in this clip. The opening tracking shot of billy walking through the forest at night combined with the actions of dusting himself off suggests 'wrong doing.' Disability could be , at this point, associated with deviant and mischievous behaviour. This is further portrayed by several camera shots of dogs, policeman with torches. implying they are looking for billy.

A close up shot of billy's reaction furthers the impression that billy had done something wrong. This close up shot also illustrates billy's appearance which can be considered to be stereotypical of person with a disability.
Other close ups on billy are used during the speech with the inspector where several interesting facial expressions are acquired to billy. He looks rather confused which could result in the assumption that he cannot keep up with what the inspector is explaining.

This shot is showing his dad sitting behind him; illustrating that he supports him and helps him explain things in order for him to make sense, implying disabled people need assistance
many reaction shots showing Billy's behaviour. Close ups on inspector showing his attitude towards billy - his facial expressions also show frustration as he cannot communicate with billy


Speech and dialogue is used to represent disability throughout the play. It is understandable that Billy has a speech impediment, therefore the audience will come to the assumption that Billy has a disability. When billy shouts out 'I've done nothing wrong' it presents him to look completely innocent and vulnerable and could make viewers pity him. Also Billy's simple and unclear responses to the inspector implies that several audiences would consider Billy and people with disabilities as unintelligent. Coming to the conclusion that they are unable to communicate sufficiently. this can also be considered when billy mentions a 'playground' and can lead to people thinking that he is childish. the inspector has to be corrected by the father when refereeing to the condition which billy has., implying that people are respectful towards handicapped people. The tone of the inspectors voice can cause the audience to come to several assumptions, one of them being that people speak down to people with disabilities and treat them as inferior to them. Another perspective which could be formed is that by looking at the fathers and inspectors tone/choice of language when talking to Billy's implies he is uneducated; displaying how these types of people are treated like children and try to communicate with them on a low academic level. When the mum says about cleaning billy this suggests that he isn't capable of cleaning himself and furthers the impression that handicapped people can be treated like children. towards the end the inspector habits an impatient tone which demonstrates how people with disabilities are treated and are not respected. This can also be conveyed by several sighs assigned to the inspector. When Billy raises his voice towards the end , it can imply that people with disabilities are considered to be violent.

Props such as police dogs and torches implies he has done something wrong and demonstrates that people are searching for billy and therefore leads to the association of handicapped people with negative behaviour. The washing up bowl is also a convenient prop as it displays how billy cant clean himself and making him look incapable and immature.
Police costumes also add to the atmosphere that billy has done something wrong and forms a negative perspective around and raises questions on his behaviour.

The cuts on billys head shows that he has been injured, once again making him look vulnerable and weak. Also it cold be taken into consideration that the police injured billy, implying how negatively these types of people are treated

Consuming and Producing Films

Consuming and Producing Films
I used to go to the cinema relatively frequently when I was younger however in the last couple of years my visits to the cinema has dropped. This is due to the ridiculous prices off both tickets and food/drink which have increased alarmingly recently, so therefore my visits to the cinema have decreased. Ticket prices have increased also due to the introduction of 3 dimensional movies where tickets costs can range around £10. However at home I have access to a 3 dimensional TV which satisfies my needs so I don't tend to go to the cinema for the 3D films. I have access to a couple of satellite TVs at home which contain countless films. I am currently with Sky broadband and this provides me with many movie programmes which run throughout the day. Also it provides me with films on demand which allows me to have access to hundreds of films available to watch as many times as I wish. New films get added to demand weekly so the collection of films is constantly being updated. There is also a Sky Store available where I am able to purchase any film i would like and watch it many times until the availability date expires.

     I don't have a specific DVD player or Blu-Ray player but I have an Xbox and PlayStation which allow me to play both DVDs and Blu-Rays on any connected TV. Very rarely I purchase some of the latest films on DVD but otherwise I sometimes get given DVDs as a present on some special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. I don't have access to a hard disk recorder but I have HD TVs. I have many devices where I can access the internet on including an iPhone, computer, iPad, Kindle and TV. I often use all of these to access the internet but because there are other people in my house using them as well I tend to usually use either my phone or computer to access the internet. I have no preference as they are all quick and easy. 
    I don't tend to watch many films on the internet but I have watched a couple of films on http://www.movie25.cm/ before. I normally watch films at home in my lounge or bedroom or even round my friends houses. Depending on the category in which the film is in the people who I watch the film with will vary. For example, I would prefer to watch an action film with my dad or friends and I would watch a romance with my mum, sister or girlfriend. I also watch a lot of films alone as it allows me to just be on my own and peaceful. 
     I have access to a video camera at home but the quality of the video has depreciated due to the age of the device so we don't tend to use it as much as we used to. The only time I tend to create any sort of video is usually on special occasions like birthdays, Christmas and holidays when I there is something sentimental to records which holds memories.
     At this moment in time the UK’s statistics state that around 96% of homes have at least one television set. Also roughly 60% of families have 2 or 3 televisions in their homes. In the USA a couple of years ago the average household had 2.86 televisions. This year, 54% of homes in the US had 3 or more TV's whilst 28% had 2 televisions and only 18% had one! Also of the 25.1 million homes In the UK, 19.2 million have access to a free-view television box. This demonstrates the availability of television to the public and how it has increased, providing more people to be granted the opportunity to watch films on their own televisions. According to recent analysis, in the UK, 82.5% of people are internet users, which has increased by 60% in 10 years. Similarly, in the USA 84.2% are on-line. This statistic implies that almost anyone who wished to watch films on-line in any economically developed country can do so, thus showing the increasing film availability. Finally, the number of people in the UK with a smartphone has risen by 14% in 10 months alone and has now reached 72%, whereas the total in the USA is 61%. Once again this shows us just how almost anybody can view film on a range of devices and how film production, editing and sharing technology is available to almost everyone.

Representation of Class and Status - Downton Abbey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IscFlwFNB6I

The opening shot is a slow pan which establishes the limit of the action and shows off the massive house belonging to the upper class. An over the head shot off the newspaper boy is used to show the status of the upper class. When the scene changes to the lower class many quick shots are used to illustrate the busy hectic life of the lower class. When the newspaper boy hands over the paper to the servant, there is a slight tilt in camera movement showing the difference in status. A longshot is used towards the end of the table with many people eating round it, showing the lower class' busy lives. A shot from a low angle focussing on the butler shows how status also differs within class. These many hectic shots change to one continuous flowing shot following the lord down his grand stair case. This shot shows off many aspects off the house including ornaments, paintings and the setting in general. The fact the camera angle is rather low demonstrates his high class and status over other. Many over the shoulder shots are used in a conversation between the Lord and the butler; this shows how the butler has higher status over the working class as he is able to be present with the king. A shot including the lords daughters standing by his side being respectful implies his status within the upper class. Reaction shots are also used to demonstrate the lords status within the upper class. Throughout the scene many longshots are used to show off the costumes and setting to emphasise the differences in class.

 

 

 

Sound is also significant in the clip. The video begins with graceful music when the camera shots focus on the house and the people of the upper class. It is very peaceful in the women's room. However, this is the opposite from where the lower class are situated, it is very loud and chaotic which shows their different lifestyle as they're working for the upper class. The sound of the bell symbolises the upper class' status over the lower class. A variety of accents are used to imply the different classes. The upper class speak very educated, smartly and sophisticated whereas the lower class have more common. Within the lower class status is shown by a louder volume of voice acquired to the chef. The graceful music then returns as  the chaotic setting changes to be very calm and peaceful, this represents the lifestyle of the upper class. The lord is referred to as 'papa' and 'lord' which shows his status within the upper class.

The miss-en-scene also plays an important role in displaying class and status. The first thing the audience sees is the enormous house with a long driveway and therefore the recognition of the house automatically makes the audience assume it belongs to members of the upper class. This is associated with wealth in relation to the upper class. A very continuous colour scheme of gold is used to represent the upper class and the luxury of their lives. The upper class wear smart suits and elegant gowns whereas the lower class wear scruffy clothes and maid outfits. These different costumes are used to display the differences in class. The lower class' working area is seemingly dull and dingy which shows their lower class. The difference in colour of the pots between upper and lower class is very effective as the lower class have brass pots and the upper class have silverware. The fact that the butler is dressed in a suit emphasises his status over the other characters in the lower class. Throughout the clip countless ornaments, paintings, pictures, accessories etc. are included to demonstrate the upper class' luxurious lifestyle. A painting including a man riding a horse symbolises the references to ancestors which is usually associated with the upper class. When the lord is walking down the stairs he is accompanied by a Labrador which also fits in with their lifestyle. A telegram is handed to the lord to demonstrate his authority and status within the upper class.

 

 

The editing in the clip also portrays the difference in class and status. Many camera exchanges including lots of people on the set demonstrate the lowers class' chaotic and busy life. Also the lighting is very dull which takes away the pleasantness of the place. Slow, calm and flowing shots are used when focussing on the upper class with on a few people on set are used to show there separated peaceful life. The fact that the butler is included on the set at the head of the table when with the lower class shows his status; also he is also allowed to be with the lord which represents his difference in class.

 

Representation of Age

The opening seconds of this scene represents the irresponsibility and carelessness of the youth as they tried to lie their way out of getting into trouble. This is emphasised due to the close up shots of the two boys attempting to hide the video camera which soon after is revealed to be broken. The older generation is also displayed in the exposition on the scene where the elder  teacher is seemingly grumpy and shows no sympathy towards the boys. His dress sense is noticeably out-dated, implying the stereotype of the older generations.

In the next clip of a young boy and a middle aged man demonstrates the immature and lazy nature of the teens. The boy's reaction when the man mentions completing an essay is simply immature and shows he has no interest in education. Also the man says "your handy work is it?" relating to a smashed window. This implies the violent and stupid behaviour which youth are stereotyped with.

Teenage girls are displayed to be dressing up by putting makeup on and wearing revealing school clothes in order to make them look older. Women are considered vulnerable when being categorised by age and the younger girls attempt to look older and target what is portrayed to be attractive by the media. This shows how the youth are irresponsible as they are easily influenced by the media and do many things to their appearance to look attractive when in fact, they look unattractive and tarty. Also in the part of the scene one of the girls mum is portrayed to be a 'hoe bag' which implies how she attempts to be youthful despite her age, demonstrating the stereotype given to mothers who try to disguise their age and act young. A soundtrack is introduced which is considered to be hip hop and once again associated with the younger generations.

A section of the scene shows how the youth of todays society are particularly aggressive and violent by the presentation of a girl behaving rather offensively and violent towards a boy who seems harmless and gentle. This demonstrates how youth are considered to be disrespect as they don't seem to have many morals towards other people. Also the dramatic hip hop soundtrack is once again introduced which makes the scene seem more chaotic. The subject of this confrontation is the affair of the two peoples parent which implies how the older generations are still attempting to be young and not behaving responsibly.

The concluding moments of the scene show a man attempting to look more youthful in his appearance by seeking advice from a woman who herself is trying to stay young. The fact that her advice is also extremely unusual shows how they both are out-dated in the worlds current state in fashion. Also the realisation that he is trying to look younger symbolises how older adults are not comfortable with their age and they try to make them look like the definition of youth which the media portrays. The outfit that he has been acquired to attracts negative reactions from both teens and middle aged people, illustrating that people are stereotyped to their age and if they attempt to alter their image in order to look younger or older, they can be victimised and negatively thought of, attracting unpleasant comments.

The location throughout the whole  scene is at a school which associated with young students and teachers who are referred to as old.

Representation of Gender

Camera-work

Immediately in the scene a close up shot of the man is used with the background slightly blurred, this focusses the audiences attention to the man expressing his importance. Also you can tell from this angle that the man is higher up which then refers to the fact that the man has more power as the women is below him.

 Throughout the scene there are many over the shoulder shots from the woman's perspective looking up at the male which emphasises his superiority and authority. For a long time period in the scene the camera mainly focusses on the man, emphasising his power further.

A tilt occurs following the woman as she descends to her knees to show that she is suppressive. Also there are many reaction shots acquired to the women from an angle above her, showing that she is being suppressive and belittled by the man.

 Some establishment and master shots are also included as well to illustrate the differences in class; people of a higher class were placed up on the stair and the people of a lower class were below them.

 A close up shot of the women laughing initiates the pivotal moment in the scene were a shift in power is noticeable and from here on she begins to start reacting and standing up to the man.

 A camera angle which displays many people listening to the girl now demonstrates the power she holds. Also camera movement is also used where the camera follows the woman up from kneeling to standing, implying that the tables are turning and she seems more powerful. 

 The camera movement when focussing on the man becomes more erratic showing how he is getting aggressive and knows  he's losing power. A close up in the man's woman accomplice showing her saying doctor also emphasises how women are weak and easily influenced. Camera angles begin to come from below the women showing her gained power. Camera tilt is used again from the doctors perspective moving upwards looking at the man, showing even within men there are men with higher authority and power over others. 

The scene ends with several shots from a camera angle now looking down at the man which shows his loss of power and is now inferior.

Sound

The scene begins with a western orientated soundtrack which implies that the two main characters which the camera focusses on are about to have a battle. The soundtrack fades out and then enhances the sound of the man's voice which shows his dominance. The volume of the man's voice then begins to increase which demonstrates his status and power. The sound of a ticking time clock then adds suspense to the scene and grips the viewers attention. Initially there is no response coming from the woman as she is silent which demonstrates her inferiority. Meanwhile the soundtrack has changed from a western style to a more tense feel. A sound of a sword inter-twines with the statement ' bow your head ' associated with the women which shows how man deal with such situations by violence. The sound of the women laughing pin points the pivotal moment in the scene, as this is her first response it initiates an upward spiral of he power increasing. Her voice also begins to get louder and starts to show her dominance. Mysterious sound effects are used to illustrate a flashback in time. Then the man begins to raise his voice as he starts to get aggressive as he knows he is losing his power. The soundtrack then merges into another which then seems victorious, emphasising the woman is winning.

Editing

In the duration that the man was dominant  a short animated clip was introduced including countless rockets and Sci-Fi weapons to convince the viewers of the man's power and could lead them to believe that he is far to dominant.

A particular section of the scene where the editing appears is when the female elabourates on the past and how she endured specific conditions. To initiate the flashback the screen dissolves into white and the next clip has a filter on it to make it look different, allowing the audience to recognise that these are previous events.

Also in the flashback sequence the effect of slow motion is used to emphasise the pain in which the woman was in. This also reiterates how women are weak and not strong enough to compete.

Miss-en-scene
The miss-en-scene in the scene also tells us a lot about the representation of gender. Firstly the costumes are used to show the different classes between gender and show authority to those in uniform. The men are either dressed in a suit or military uniform which shows power whereas the women are dressed as maids which contributes to the stereotypes in which male and females are given. Also the man's accomplice is dressed in a vibrant red dress to show how she is an accessory, further emphasising the stereotype given to women relating to that they are considered as possessions. 

Also in the scene weaponry is convenient as it shows power and also they are usually associated with male which further employs their dominant stereotype. It also symbolises how men deal with situations such as this as it usually results in violence and aggressive. The man's screwdriver represents his power and when he possesses it he has power but when not in possession he is weak.
