How was media language used to show the social context of 1960s?

Media Language was explored to show the social context in the 1960s by using mis-en-scene, starting with a  scene of a big female eye on Mrs Peels door. This eye is a female eye, it has heavy make up on this represents the 60s because they did heavy make up in the 60s. It was also explored by mis en scene by the outfit Mrs Peel was wearing, she was wearing a tight figure hugging black leather body suit. This links back to the 60s because the conceptive pill just came out and the 60s was when loads of people would have sex and with Mrs Peel wearing a tight figure hugging outfit its encouraging sex because how tight the outfit is.

Another way media language was explored to show social context in the 60s was by camera work. Camera work explores this because in a scene there is a 360 pan to Mr Steed its also a low angle shot of him so the audience was looking up to him, this is suggesting the alpha male theory. This links to the 60s because of the conceptive pill was released so intern it was showing how the 'alpha male' theory was staring to go. By the pill being released it was giving women the empowering moment they where gaining power in a way.

Media Language was also used to show the social context in the 60s by using sound. This is explored by diegetic and non diegetic sound. There is non diegetic music in the back round when Steed goes to Mrs Peels flat. This is a use of foreshadowing.
