There are various high angle shots of the man when he is in the pit which gives him a sense of vulnerability and helplessness, as opposed to the typical male status where he fights back and ends up winning.
There is another high angle shot from the farmer mans point of view looking down at the vulnerable woman (damsel in distress) this gives the man power and authority over the woman and also makes the woman seem weak and in danger the typical male/female roles in films.
There is allot of fast paced editing which helps build tension and anxiety as to the fate of the male character.
The woman is dressed in a dark formal suit whilst driving a digger this opposes to the stereotypical female role, now the woman is the one in power she is dressed smart and the digger which is usually used by strong working men is helping create an idea of a female hero. She then goes on to end up saving the man from the tiger by shooting it, this typical dilemma in a film would usually consist of a man saving the woman but it is reversed in this. There is a man in the group of people who is dressed quite feminine pink shirt and scarf and a black hat this also reverses the typical image of a man and is also continued when they run in the barn to save the woman two of the "aplha men" whom are dressed causally have guns which build an image of a stereotypical strong man, the more feminine man has a shovel which opposed to a gun has less power.
Throughout the pit scene there is a sound score which uses trumpets and violins to create a sense of suspense, also as the woman enters the scene in the digger there are powerful trumpets which are usually used to create a sense of power and strength. As the man is trying to escape from the tiger the score soundtrack incorporates more drums and bass guitar this creates tension and suspense as to whether the man will be able to escape the tiger and save his life.
When the farmer man is about to shoot the woman the director uses the two dogs barks to again create suspense and tension as to whether or not the defenceless woman will be saved and in the end she is by the aplha men ( a typical male saves female scenario)
The dialogue the woman uses also gives her the stereotypical female image once she gets off the hay she says "this is my best coat" as opposed to worrying that she was almost killed.
The conversation between the male and female characters in the opening scene portrays a typical relationship the woman is angry at the man and tells him to leave her alone and he doesn't know what to do and has to be told by other men what to do this constructs the dominance between the woman and the man showing that she is more in control than him.
