Gender analysis - Sherlock Holmes (revisited)

The first establishing shot depicts the houses of Parliament/Big Ben, which is also very similar to the closing/end shot of the scene which also depicts Parliament and Big Ben - this could represent a resolve amongst the male protagonists.
A mid shot is used to show Sherlock in a carriage, sat between the Inspector and another policeman. The tow policemen are almost silhouettes, whereas Sherlock is in the light - this could show that despite the other two men being 'officially' (by law) more dominant, Sherlock is actually the alpha-male of the three men.
A second establishing shot is used to show that the setting has changed when the policemen (accompanying Sherlock) are marching through the Parliament corridors - the scenery is very dark and poorly lit, which could show that the men are there to deal with serious business - conforming perfectly to the stereotypical 'modern man', whom takes care of problems with either his fists, or his huge ego and intelligence, and could foreshadow the danger to come. Several jump cuts are used to show the speed at which the men are travelling through the Houses of Parliament, which shows some importance and urgency to their actions - highlighting that their issues are much more important and worthy, than those of whom they are rushing past, which could suggest that the men believe themselves to possess dominance over others.
When the Inspector and Sherlock reach the Count, a mid shot is used to show them entering the room. The audience can see that Sherlock is dressed in scruffy trousers, braces and a dirty white t-shirt - giving the impression that he has been in a fight. This shows that regardless of the fact that he is in a very renowned building, with a very rich and influential man, he does not care about impressing him with his physical appearance - but instead cares only about uncovering the scheming plans of the Count. Sherlock could also be dressed like this to further prove that he is always the alpha male, and an alpha male typically believes of himself as stronger and more intelligent that other men - therefore giving him a large ego.
The Inspector punches Sherlock in the abdomen, again fitting to the stereotype that men are aggressive and must settle their feelings by physically hurting/trying to hurt their enemy or opponent.
A wide shot depicts the Count, very well dressed in suit trousers, a shirt, waistcoat and cravat, in his room which is very tastefully and expensively furnished. His body language shows that he was not expecting Sherlock or the Inspector, but he remains calm and is positioned a reasonable distance from the pair. His calm nature could reflect that he's in a familiar and comfortable environment, or maybe that with the help of his wealth and his 'cult', he feels much more powerful than Sherlock and the Inspector. This constant battle between the men to outsmart each other conforms perfectly to the idea that men are extremely competitive and testosterone-fuelled, and so feel the need to constantly outdo one another in order to remain at the top of the pecking order.
Throughout the clip, both diegetic sound and non-diegetic sounds are featured - as the narrative of each character is heard, along with the sounds of footsteps and the opening and closing of doors and windows. However, there is also a constant non-diegetic sound in the background, which is typically orchestral music. There is a recurring violin melody which plays softly, and each time the scene reaches a climax - where something exciting or dangerous might happen, the orchestral sounds grow louder and are joined by percussion. this builds tension massively within the scene, and constantly coincides with the idea of fighting. Each time either Sherlock or the Count get close to defeating one another, the non-diegetic sound becomes stronger. This could represent the levels of masculinity and power that either character shows/feels as they almost reach their goal of destroying one another.
both the Count and Sherlock display characteristics of a stereotypical man. the body language, costumes and behaviour of them both show intelligence, strength and competitiveness. This is particularly shown when the smoke enters the room. It gives the scene a mysterious feel, and the Count has the chance to show his aggressiveness by wielding a gun, and Sherlock shows his arrogant intelligence.
Point of view shots are used when Sherlock lets the smoke into the room, and when the Count loads the gun with bullets, to show mischievous (Sherlock) and dangerous (Count) decisions they are prepared to make to remain the dominant male.
