Confronting Moriarty - Sherlock Holmes

Mise - En - Scene 
Moriarty challenges the homo-sexual stereotype as he withholds the greatest prominence on screen. Homosexual men are stereotyped to be feminine with their actions, characteristics and mannerisms which means that he should have a shorter screen time in comparison to Sherlock as he is 'feminine' but this is challanged as he has much longer screen time than Sherlock which challenges the idea of him having power whilst confront Sherlock. By having a longer screen time, it shows he is more powerful but then is debated as Sherlock is the one with the phallic object (gun) which can minimise Moriarty's power, yet again increase it.
Moriarty also re-enforces the stereotype as he is very organised in the way he is dressed and presented (stereotypically feminine) and he also has a pocket hanky to represent this. Adding to this, he is very tidy and well-kept which often relates to femininity. This re-enforces the stereotype of homo-sexual men as they are stereotyped to take pride and care in their appearance, often seen as camp by society. He wears a suit which can be argued that it is both masculine and feminine, but it is the personality of the character which determines whether the clothing is masculine and feminine. The blackness of the suit portrays danger and death which immediately portrays and dominates power among Moriarty.
Within the short clip of Sherlock Holmes confronting Moriarty, the lighting is very dull and dark, perhaps to convey romance and intimacy, especially when John says to Sherlock "you taking my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool...".  Moriarty also looks Sherlock up and down several times, which is something a person would act on if they should an interest of attraction towards them.
Adding to this, the dark and tense lighting could represent Moriarty's power which challenges the stereotype as homo-sexual men are often seen as weak and timid, nervous about opening up.

Camera
Towards the end of the clip, low angles are used on the positioning of Sherlock to portray that he has more authority and dominates the most power. This re-enforces the stereotype of straight people as it shows they have more fear-less power in comparison to homosexuals, as homosexual men are often conveyed to be weaker as well as less powerful on the outside.

Edit
Moriarty is conveyed to have power when focusing on the editing of the short clip, this is because transitions are used such as cutting to show he is more masculine through this, even though his actions are stereotypically camp. This challenges the stereotype as transitions for a homosexual man would often be feminine ones which are soft, such as: dissolving and fading - to show weakness.

Sound
The dialogue which Moriarty uses contrasts from the beginning until the end. This is because his voice becomes very high pitch and feminine when he quotes "no you won't" and develops onto the camp stereotype. Alternatively, his voice changes as it becomes deeper and returns to a more masculine pitch, which challenges the stereotype as homosexual men are stereotyped to have much higher pitched and camp voices. This shows that his voice contrasts throughout the clip as it alternates from masculine to feminine.
