They want the audience to see Gene Hunt as a hero, they achieve this by giving him a dramatic entrance, which is emphasis by the soundtrack. The soundtrack is effective as it is fast paced and loud. His dialogue also shows that he is trying to be the hero, for example he said "Today my friend your diary entry will read, took a prozy hostage and shot by three armed bastards". He threatens the villain and trys to impress the woman. He is also shown as a hero through the angles of the shots, a high angle is used so show he has high authority and is a powerful man.
We also establish that he possibly could be wealthy due to the close up of his snake skinned shoes, as these shoes were trendy and expensive, it was a product for the upper class.
Ways to change our thoughts of Gene Hunt.
Gene Hunt is sexist as we can tell from his dialogue that he has small amount of repect for women, also emphasized by high angled shots, this could mean he is looking down at her. The through the womans legs shot shows that he sees her more as a object. To make Gene Hunt to be more as hero, he has to be less of a sexist, because a stereotypical hero would never look down on people.
He could be seen to be too violent, as he threatens the villain that he will shoot him, and also that he points his gun at a unarmed man. To support his role as the hero, he would have to act smartly and talk to the villain and reason with him.
