The avengers clip
In the first five minutes of the series, the audience are
immediately made aware that this series will be thrilling to watch. This is
because of the fun and bouncy introduction music that introduces us to the
series well. We are firstly introduced to the main characters in a black and
white setting. These two characters are Emma peel and john steel. It is made
clear that they have a very flirty relationship, but are not together. As he
enters the scene, he grabs a fencing stick and begins to fence against Emma.
This gives an audience a feel about what the series will consist of. You can
tell that Emma peels character is extremely strong and determined as she fences
against john, as though they are equal. This was rare for a woman to be
portrayed in such a way at this time. John is pictured to be extremely
gentlemen like in the first few scenes. He wears a bow tie and speaks in an
extremely posh manner. This would have been considered charming at the time. As
he fences he does so in a gentle stable way. I think this is a good first scene
because it portrays the flirty dynamic between them, and because they are
learning combat you get a feel on what the series will be about.
