Females Representation (August Osage County) - editing

Sisters and mother visitng the doctor:
- close up of Violet
- over the shoulder shot - Violet
- two shot - Barbara in blur and Violet in focus
- two shot - Violet in blur and Barbara in focus
  - Barbara is represented as a maternal authoritative
  - voice - sound editing gives her this God-like voice
  - she is seen as more authoritative than the Doctor
- over the shoulder shot - Karen
- Barbara in foreground of the shot with the rest of the females in the family at the back
  - Doctor does not need to be in the shot
  - Barbara more size - position of power
- Barbara is seen from an over the should shot - lower than her eye level
  - she is seen as more dominant - low angle
  - not a point of view shot - there is no gaze here
  - we are not seeing her through the doctor's eyes
- all women are shown through mid shots and long shots which cut off parts of their bodies
  - these shots as the viewer, to focus on what is being said rather than the physicality of the women - but do signify a fragmented women
