Tony lays down a beating.



How does the camera show, who is the alpha male?
Throughout the scene Tony is the tallest and biggest character showing that he has the most power throughout. The male who is beaten by Tony is shown in his bedroom and only wearing underwear suggesting his vulnerability, as this is a personal room and he is bare.
The man stands to show he is trying to regain his power and pride. This shows his masculine confidence, as he is proud to stand up and show his body.
There is dim lighting suggesting that something bad is going to happen. The camera begins to switch shots from Tony to the other man, this creates tension and tells the audience there is an awkwardness between the two. The tension could be seen as a sexual tension by some, as the camera shows them looking into each others eyes and then Tony progresses to remove his belt.
While Tony is whipping the man, the camera shows Tony from his view implying he has all the power in the shot as he is the only character present and above him.
Tony is the clear alpha male by the end of the clip.
