 1. What is your impression from the 60's era?

my first impression of the 60's was that it was a very bright and colourful era. Everyone seemed so much more confident and outgoing than they are now and they all had their own individual styles whist following the trends at that time. this era comes across to me as being enjoyable and care-free, this is because all the music was upbeat and everyone looked like they were always enjoying themselves.

2. Where does this come from?

this comes from watching the trailer of 'Austin Powers'. in the trailer we see what the fashion was like back then. for example, big hair and colourful clothing were very popular and shows how everyone liked to express themselves. also, the comedic side of it shows me how they liked to have fun with little care.

3. Write down 5 key events from the era that shaped it:

Chapter  7 how is camerawork used to create meanings? Find examples of camera angles, camera shot types and camera movement.

An example of a camera angle is a birds eye view shown near the start of the chapter. this creates meaning by showing the vast space that Jake will need to navigate the police around. By doing this angle it shows you how busy and confusing this area is with many road options to take. 

Another example of a camera shot is a point of view shot. this is used when Jake and Ryan are in the police car and the camera is angled so it looks like you are a part of the scene. this creates meaning because you become more attached to the show as you feel like you are involved. this will encourage you to continue watching because you are intrigued about what will happen in this chase as you feel involved.

Finally, in this chapter a camera movement called Pan is used. this is when the camera moves either vertically or horizontally but fixes on a certain point. For example, when we see the car Jake was chasing going past the police officers on the wrong road after he has given them the incorrect directions. this adds meaning because it shows how close Jake was but was one road away. It also shows how fast the vehicle is travelling and how the police officers only had one chance to get it right and catch him and they won't have an opportunity to do it again as they won't be able to catch up with the car.
