Analysing avengers opening scene

Tuesday 3rd November 2019
  1. How is 'britishness' represented in this scene in terms of mies-en-scene?
  2. How is war paranoia/racism represented in this scene through mies-en-scene?
  3. What stereotypes were used in episode 1?

Consider:
  •  Nationalities
  • Gender
  • Job roles
  • Places
         4. How was Steed represented  in episode 1?

    Consider:
    • Costume
    • Setting
    • Props
    • Actions
    • Dialogue 
    • Stereotypes 
    Steed's character was a more rough and tumble operative than the suave, sophisticated gentleman he became during the Gale and Peel eras. His most common style of dress as Dr. Keel's sidekick was a trenchcoat and suit, though the famous bowler hat and umbrella appeared as early as "The Frighteners", the 15th episode to be aired. Most of the first season episodes are lost, but Macnee hints in his memoir that they initially appeared earlier.

    Cuffs episode 1

    For this reason he’s been charged with mentoring the new rookie cop, Jake, who just happens to be the Chief Super’s son. But uncompromising Ryan doesn’t care who Jake’s Dad is, he has high expectations and expects Jake to meet them. A devoted single dad to his two children, Ryan has equally high standards at home but his controlling and over-bearing nature threatens to drive away those he loves most. But working in the same division as his Chief Super Dad, Jake soon realises that being the boss’ son isn’t a bed of roses – in fact it’s full of thorns – as his new Tutor Constable Ryan is quick to point out his every fault. Self-assured, if a little naïve, Jake is determined to earn his place on the team but fails to realise that a romance with provocative defence solicitor Simon, could undo all of his hard work. Diligent and organised, she always does everything by the book and gets results. But whilst her career is going from strength to strength, her persona...

    What happened in 2010? Winter olympics  Icelandic earthquake  Chilean miners Time square bomber Ink cartridge bombs Wiki leaks North south Korea tensions BP oil spill Haiti earthquake  What was happening politically in 2010? In the second year of Obamas presidency, a lot of things went on like major events we'll remember for a long time, and some minor ones we'd rather forget.

    analysing horror poster

    This image of this poster makes you want to watch the movie because this little girls eyes are a lot lighter than what they usually should be. This will make you feel consernd and worried about what has happened.  This film would be terrifying to watch because maybe it would have something to do with possession and she doesn't look very cheerful either.  They have used colours such as black, brown and white for this image because these colours make some people think of death so maybe there is some kind of murder or death in this film.  As you can see its not only the little girls eyes that are white, her face is also pale and her lips are like a brown / grey colour. There is no background in this photo as you can only see her face but i think this film would be really good to watch and it would be really horrifying.
