Merlin- Camera Work.

The camera work used throughout the first scene was simple but it had a lot of effects.

The shot that tracked along and showed all of the equipment magically being cleaned, showed that he wasn't doing it himself which could relate to the fact that men are generally classed as "lazy" and don't do work or what they are asked to.

Also the 180° rule was used during the conversation between Knight Valiant and Arthur, this was showing Arthur as being more powerful and showing his reactions to what Knight Valiant had to say. This was also used when Knight Valiant was talking to Lady Morgana, and it was showing the other fighters face. This was suggesting jealously which is a typical representation of a man.

When Merlin was in the room with all of the fighting equipment in and Knight Valiant walked in on him, there was a low angle shot of Merlin to show that he was least powerful and vulnerable, whereas there was a high angle shot of Knight Valiant, this would represent that he was higher up and more respected.
