Task 2 How do the representations of sexualities reflect the historical, contemporary, social and cultural contexts? In the set text 'cuffs', the view of homosexuality differed within society. Gay marriage was legalised in 2013, this is reflected in 'cuffs' because the main character Jake is openly gay. When Jake tells Ryan he is gay there is no reaction towards that implying a dominant represantion as it is accepted by society as a whole. In 'The Avengers' we are to assume that Steed and Peel are both heterosexual. This is shown when Steed sexually hits Peel on the bum during their fencing game at the beginning. This reflects the historical context of the time because in the 1960's, it was illegal to be openly gay and if you were you could be prosecuted as it was a mental illness. in the 2010's there is no warning about any homosexual acts before a programme in worry of losing viewers as its a common, normal thing to be now and socially...

H ow does the music style suggest what genre the show is? The music from the opening of The Avengers is an upbeat tune which reflects the time on 1960 being the year of fun and experimental music (Beatles etc). It also suggests a crime drama by the slow yet enticing beat that can be heard while 'sexy' pictures of Diana Riggs can be shown. What does the typography of the graphics suggest about the show's era? The typography is bold and block, its quite plain and big because it shows the importance of the type of crime drama also it was set in the 1960's so the typography is not new and fancy but just old and quite boring. 3.
