How is gender represented in Pans Labyrinth?

• They use a lot of gold as a colour pallet when they were in a fantasy world.
• Shadowy colours when the Faun is on screen.
• Use of blue lighting when the scenes are sadder.

Analysis of the toad scene Ofelia wears a silk green dress; she wears this to show her gender and to show how woman had to dress all the time back in the 1940s, her taking of her house dress and getting all muddy is breaking the stereotype. the scene of Vidal chasing the rebels is significant because it is showing how committed he is to find these people and getting rid of them. The colour of this part is bright lighting because the scene does not really have any important emotion, however when the screen switches to Ofelia the lighting is a dark orange and gold colour, to show she is in her fantasy world and to show that she has a mood of being scared
