The Avengers, the first five minutes

 

During the first five minutes of The Avengers a lot happens. Firstly it starts off with a panning shot from the beach to the ocean, then to a shot showing a man, supposedly a fisher man holding a knife before looking out into the distance to see a black dot approaching the shore. As the black dot moves closer to the shore you start the make out what it is. It turns out to be a walking bin bag and a man breaks free. The man is dressed like a typical gentleman, dressed in a suit and tie and a bowler hat. He goes to ask the fisher man directions to little Baisley then promptly leaves with a few parting words of it’s going to rain. Then it cuts to London with Mr Steele going to miss Peele’s apartment and ringing the doorbell to see a frightening looking peephole made to look like an eye with thick eyelashes, this is somewhat used as an eye catcher as it is weird and quirky but also unexpected. Mr Steele enters the room to find miss Peele practicing her fencing. Mr Steele tells her to straighten her wrist and to put her weight on the other foot. Mr Steele and miss Peele have a fencing match where mr Steele dances around the room to avoid her attacks but ends up getting caught anyway showing us how strong and flexible and shows her feminine power.
