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 characters. When Steed is shown he is shown through a medium low angle shot, this shows his power and dominance through camera shots. Whereas when Mrs Peel is shown she gets presented through a medium high angle, this shows that Mrs Peel is being present as a less important character. Throughout the extract the camera angle switches between person to person (1 to 1 shots).
