Within the first scene the audience are shown three characters who all represent gender in different ways.

The first characters who your attention draws to is a lady with blonde hair, she is shown as a character who might use her looks to get what she wants. You can she  takes good care of her appearance and is shown how a stereotypical woman would be portrayed, with blonde styled hair and fit fitting clothes. She always makes a comment which people often stereotype women with, "I'm already late for my hairdressers appointment." Because of the way she dresses she could be seen as a sex object and is how men want women to look. She also pretends to buy a black dress, which is shown as a stereotype for most women.

The next character the audience see is a woman with brown hair, un like the first woman she is shown with plain clothing, and hasn't taken much care with her appearance. Out of the three characters she has the less amount of money, and is only shopping in the high class outlet to find an expensive outfit for her daughters wedding.

The man is the sequence is shown as a quite camp character, I can see this when he gets excited and jumps for joy when the woman agrees to buy one of his dresses and also because he works in a woman's dress shop. He isn't shown as a masculine characters and he has more feminine traits. 

The man is also shown as a well groomed character and appears to be rather posh. He also make a slight bitchy comment to the brown haired lady in his store "It's seven hundred, it is at the lower end of our current stock." This shows the man as a more feminine character, as males don't often part take in bitchiness and also makes him seem more superficial. He is also shown as greedy as he wants the highest amount of money he can get for a missing ring and he only cares for appearances. 

I think all of the three characters that are shown have a reference to do with money. The blonde woman being a con artist, only interested in making huge amounts of money. 

I think the brown haired lady has the least amount of money out of the three characters, possibly being a working mother who spends the majority of her money on her children.

I think the man in the sequence is greedy for money and isn't interested in anyone who has less money than himself.

The other characters shown in the sequence are a middle aged man and a man a bit older than him. 

They're shown drinking whisky, smoking and wearing suits, which is what people think the stereotypical upper class business/con man does.

Within one of the shots the older man uses drink to get the other male with him drunk, this could possibly be to get him on his side, which would show a clever and cunning side to his behaviour.

The sequence shows a wide range of different shots and camera angles.

There is the use of match on action when the two men in the shop are taking about the reward. This shot could of been used because neither of the characters are in control and both obtain the same amount of power.

There is close up and extreme close up shots of the diamond ring, this is showing the ring has significance to the sequence and is important to all of the different characters.

There is a medium shot at the beginning to show the three characters in shop, to show they are all relevant to the sequence.

The hustlers are always shown in the foreground of the shots, showing they have power.

The music playing through the sequence is a type of jazz music. The music has a faster pace when the blonde lady is looking for her ring, this could be to show the ring is important and there is a panic when it can't be found.

There isn't any music when the man is fixing the alarm, this could be because the alarm is shown as an important object.
