The avengers; Extract analysis
L/O; To explore elements of media language and practice how to analyse an extract
Camerawork -
hand held camera
camera angled specifically so that the audience can see the antagonists enter the scene which emphasises the danger --
Mise en scene;
Costume - The spies clothing was different
to everybody else's, they were more sleek
Editing;
Cutting on action is when there is a cut and change in camera angle/placement in
the middle of an action.
A cut away is when there is a quick cut to a completely different scene
A cross cut is often used to show different places at the same time, often with phone call scenes
Jump cuts are showing the same scene but jumping in time
Match cut/graphic match is when there is a cut in a scene but both the scenes are matching together
either by an action or an object
Transitions are used to either pass time, or to show the differences and similarities of scenes
they have used a cut away in this scene when the detective was talking to the Bartender about where Emma Peel
is, it cuts from a scene of them talking to a zooming in scene of Emma peel's bag, this shows the detectives
perspective and shows the audience that the bartender is lying.
Parallel sound is when the sound matches the scene
Contrapuntal sound is when the sound does not match the scene
Contrapuntal sound - dogs barking,
music - Church organ when priest pulls out the glock
They have used non diegetic chior music in the scene when Emma peel is with the priest and
then the music stops halfway through the conversing which intensifies the scene and makes the
audience focusmore on the scene.
