Do Now:

The Avengers Extract Analysis 
L:O- To explore based questions and how to answer them affectively 
Question 1
1.  How was camerawork used to create meaning? 
In this particular scene there was a close up on John steed and the hot weapon next to him so we can see how hot the weapon is and how steed is feeling at that point of time by his facial expressions. In another part of the scene there was mid shot of steed and Emma peel standing close to each other so we can see the type of relationship they both have by there proxemics. 
Question 2 
2. Analyse how far the extract creates tension
In this scene they have created tension by the music in the background when steed and the blacksmith are fighting for example the tempo increased and the volume increased the more the scene got in tense. As the scene went on when they wanted the audience to understand the dialogue the volume decreased but when the characters figured out what happened the volume increased which made it more tense. The camera work builds tension because the movement of the camera is following the character and it gets fast when the fight scene between steed and the blacksmith happens the movement of the camera increase which creates tension. 
Question 3
3. How far does the extract create a stereotypical representation of men
Langauge (Media)
Institutions 
Audience 
Representation
In this extract it shows both stereotypes and non-stereotypes, by the fight between steed and blacksmith for example for stereotypes they are both males fighting which is common another stereotype is when steed saves emma because its common for males to save women. patriarchy was happen back in the 1960s and the different relationships between steed and peel didnt show it which was non stereotype.

 Wednesday 17th March 
  Do now: 
  Multicultural society 
  More accepting to lgbtq + 


The hero: PC Jake Vickers - Chief Super Robert Vickers - De Felix cane 
The villain: Chief Robert 
The Doner: Chief Robert - Jo Maffet 
The Helper: Pc Ryan - Lino -  Donna 
The Princess: Arressting the criminal 
The princess father: Stations officer 
The dispatcher: Jo Maffet 
The false hero: Pc Ryan 
Audience appeal 

Uses and gratifications theory of Bulmer and Katz 

personal identity - Ensamble class - Wide range of characters - Role models - Empathise on difficulty about being a police officer 

Information - Whats it is like being a police officer - How life is in the police force.

Entertainment -The action - Humour - An escape from reality - Reassured by  the hard work and dedication for the police work - May in joy the characters personal life on the show - May enjoy their jobs interfere with their relationships.   

Social interaction - Talking about episodes with friends - May build a personal relationship with a character.

Cuffs and Social contexts 
-
 There are stronger  roles for women that reflect gender equality for example there is women on the police force which would be breaking stereotype. 

- Different change in attitude was show differently throughout the episode for example the was a different sexuality role on the police force which would be breaking stereotypes in 2015. Jake Vickers sexuality. 
 
- In the episode traditional masculine and feminine qualities no longer were shown because there wasn't always stereotypical me and women in the show.  


24:04:24
Do now:
- General public attitude are against the police force
- Not enough staff in the police force 
- The public is changeling 
Cuffs and social contexts continuing 


PC Donna Prager - Representations: She is strong and determined - Chasing after the women in the street - She is more athletic the her male partner - She is seen as equal to Ryan with physical activities which is unusual.  


PC Jake Vickers -  Representations: Slow starting, inexperienced,  Keen, wants to impress, openly gay. 
Di Felix Kane - Quiet, reserved, Timid. 



Pc Jake vickers - Openly gay. Anti-stereotypical. Determined - Wants to impress Stereotypical. 
Lino Moretti - Comedic - not athletic. Anti- stereotypical.
Felix cane - More reserved - Timid. Anti - stereotypical.

.  In 2015 different cultures was normalised and it wasn't a problem to be a different race for 
example, Pc Ryans ethnicity was black and he was still able to be involved in the police force back in 1960s it wouldn't be acceptable for a black person to be in the police force that is how 2015 have improved views on multiculturalism because it was acceptable to have different races in the police force and there was a wide range of ethnicity in the police force.  Racist groups were represented as criminals because they were arrested for discrimination against different races and there was antisocial behaviour which was represented by the racists such as drinking, drugs and disrespecting the police.
