Firstly, while the shot of Luther and Ian is happening; the cameras are very up close and they use shallow focus to show that they are the only thing the audience should focus on. But, when the women appears on the screen it is not as close up and the man is blocking her slightly. This could represent that she is not as important as the males.
In the editing, while Ian and Luther were debating the cross cutting technique was used. This happened while they were talking and the camera focused on the person talking at the time. But, with the woman it was not continually on her, it went back on the two men even though they did not have much dialogue. This could be used to show that the men have the most power even though they were both injured, and she had possession of a gun.
Although the woman shows up with a gun, she does not use it to her command. She calls in another male and asks for his advice. This could be shown as her not being allowed to use it as she wants to. This should signify that she is the antagonist as she has the gun, but she is asking for advice off the man. This could be a gender stereotype as she is seemed not powerful enough to not to ask.
Throughout this scene, non-diegetic sound is used as music is played in the background. But dialogue is also used. Synchronous sound is used while Ian and Luther are fighting as there is a lot of screaming. But, less of this is heard when Alice enters. This could be interpreted as the men not being afraid of her just because she is a woman.
