Technological: The creatures seen in pans labyrinth are created using minimal amounts of CGI, clever consume designs and use of a green screen. Del Toro wanted to uses minimal CGI is it would make the Creatures in the fanatical world look and move more realistically.

Historical: With the film being set in 1944 this would be set during the start of Francisco Franco’s rule as dictator of Spain. Del Toro arguably based or took inspiration from this figure when creating Capitan Vidal. Both being heavily corrupt and sexist toward certain individuals.

Social: During the time pans labyrinth was set women were seen as inferior to men and were given housekeeping jobs. We se this with Mercedes and the other cooking staff and how they are all women.

Political: The film is set a few years after the Spanish civil war in which Captain Vidal takes the role of The fascist Spanish government.

Institutional – Pan’s Labyrinth was directed by Guillermo del Toro and made a profit of 37 million dollars. this would bee regarded as a box office success

Blocking: a term that describes where, when and how a subject is placed and moved within a frame.

Staging: the process of selecting, designing and modifying the performance to enhance the film.

Representation of gender- In Pans Labyrinth men are represented as superior while women are represented as inferior. we see this with the relationship between Vidal and Ofelia where Vidal gives all the orders to Ofelia and other characters such as Mercedes. This presents men as dominant and superior. Ofelia and other characters follow Vidal’s orders without hesitation presenting women as inferior and powerless. This is until Mercedes rebels against Vidal cutting him and running away. This flips the power of genders as Ofelia starts to rebel against Vidal as well by stealing the baby.

Aesthetics– The use of gender status would make things more realistic as it would be relevant to the time the film was set. This is because at the time the film was set only men were sent out to battle or had roles in the army and women were seen as cleaners or cookers which is what we see here.
