Feminism Applied

I have analysed the first 10 minutes of this episode of Hollyoaks. I was looking out for how women were portrayed in a show like this (television soap).
the first woman we see is in the dark somewhere, she looks isolated, however the mise-en-scene suggests she is a dark character hiding a secret. The shots we see are neither high or low so we are given no indication of authority.
another woman we see is in an army uniform, this would suggest that she has power and authority, or a higher status in society. Her body language is very masculine especially when she is standing up straight with her shoulders very wide.
The woman we see in the pit/hole is very venerable, especially the way the camera looks down on her, the dark environment suggests that someone is keeping her here against her will, which is emphisised by the screams.
