Tuesday 3rd December 2019 Avengers Practise Questions How is media Language used in the extract to portray gender and sexuality in the 1960s? Media Language is used in this extract to portray gender and sexuality in the 1960s by using camera work and mise-en-scene. At the beginning of the extract it begins with a cut away close up of a door bell. Near the door bell there was the name Mrs Emma Peel this would show that Mrs Peel was not alone and that she should not be flirting. When Steed rings the door bell he doesn't ring it like you would normally ring a door bell instead he decides to ring the door bell using the end of his umbrella. This would suggest that Steed is rude and disrespectful. The extract the goes on to using a pan tilt to the eye. The eye that is used is a females eye as in the 60s women would have worn make up to make themselves look more pretty and attractive as they deemed to be. Throughout the extract there is a difference in angles between the 2 characte

Illustrator

Thursday 28th march 2019 L/O: to experiment with illustrator. This was the first thin g that I made using illustrator. The cat that I made was the first cat that I had tried I left out the facial features because it was to hard to do the feature of the cat like eyes, nose and mouth. But it also has straight lines or the lines don't look like they fit right. Monday 1st March 2019 Skills development  L/O: to practice skills needed for coursework development. I think that this cat is a little bit better than the first one but is still not as good as I would like it. I think that next time need to try to add the facial feature and also use a couple more curves rather than straight lines.   I got a little bored and made something with no template with different shades of pinks and stuff. I also made this quickly when I got a little bored with no template.  I drew like mountains or meant to be just to use the pen tool without using a template.
