Mr Selfridge Textual Analysis

Season 1 Episode 1




The camera continuously follows the American male character, while other characters are in the background. This shows that he is an important character. He is wearing a suit, which show she is a professional businessman, and gives him power. 




























The man has a very positive facial expression. This suggests that he himself is a positive, extroverted, and popular character. This makes him likable for the audience, especially female/homosexual viewers.



















Although there is selective focus on the woman, the man is kept in the scene through the use of a over-the-shoulder shot. This reinforces the idea that the man is important. The focus on the woman also shows she is of importance, and that she may have a degree of power over the other women. However, the women are looking up to the man, signifying that he holds the majority of the power.
