In this scene Britishness is represented through clothing. Men in the 60s would have been wearing suits and formal wear. women on the other hand would have worn nice clothes that made them look pretty.
How is War Paranoia/racism represented in this scene through mise-en-scene?
In this scene mise-en-scene is represented through this scene by props. There is a plane in the background that would probably represent a plane that may have been used in a war.
How was Steed represented in episode 1?
Steed was represented as a very formal and work driven man. His clothing is very formal which shows his formality. Anytime that Steed was shown he was mostly seen working or using work to portray something different.
How was Mrs Peel represented in episode 1?
Mrs Peel was represented as a very strong independent person. She was presented as a strong minded person who would have shown the opposites to most stereotypes. Her actions show that she has a passion and have a job to do.
How was the context of the 1960s shown in the different representations used in episode 1?
The 1960s is presented in this episode as a time when women would have been less powerful and have less of a place in society. Towards the start of the episode it shows Mrs Peel being at home during the day on her own when a male would have most likely been at work. It is shown that she was doing stuff around the house as well as practising stuff that she likes. But what she likes and enjoys would most likely set her apart from every other female as Mrs Peel was practising her fencing/ sword fighting which would not be expected in the 1960s for a female to take part in. During this part if the episode it features her wearing a full body latex suit which would give a sense of following stereotypes with making her seem attractive like it was deemed to be in the 60s. This would suggest that in episode 1 they make Mrs Peel follow some of the stereotypes in the 60s but not all of them.
Another way that the 1960s have been represented in this episode is the way that Steed has been presented. Throughout episode 1 Steed had been presented as formal and work driven. In the 1960s men would have been the only gender who went to work or had looked extremely formal when going to work. They would also focus extremely hard on there work and businesses. Mr steed portrays these stereotypes as the majority of the time that we see him, he is focusing on his work or making plans of what they have got to do. Steed also dresses very formal which shows a level of formality in his character. His character also shows that when around a female he doesn't have to do much as the females should take care of stuff like that. This would suggest that with Steeds character he has followed most of the stereotypes of a male in the 1960s.
A final way that the 1960s are presented in this episode is when around other people the males do all the talking when there together. This shows that Mrs Peel is presented as less powerful due to the way that when Steed did all the talking when in the place they were staying.
