As media key concept

These are the four main media language types that we have discussed and today which i will go through later on in this post, these four are the critical things that actually matter to having a successful review.

  • Cinematography - This is the way a camera shot is taken, there are many ways in which the camera angle can cause a different reaction towards the audience, typical camera angles are birds eye view, close up and mid shot.
  • Editing - This is done to clips already shot and recorded, editing ensures that the clips are good to use and run smoothly over using transmissions.
  • Sounds - sounds play an important role in media, they can change the mood of the audience very quickly. If you was to watch a horror movie without sound, you would rarely find yourself being scared. Sounds give the audience awareness of something about to happen also letting you in to weather or not a scene is going to be happy, or sad. Non diagetic means when the characters can not hear the music/sounds. Diagetic means when the charectors can hear the music.
  • Mise en scene - This word literaly means "put in scene", this refers to almost everything that goes into the composition of the shot, including the composition itself,:framing,movement, of the camera and charecters, lighting and makeup.
          The second key concept is representation, this includes ;
          Age
          Gender
          Ethnicity
          Sexuality
          Religiouse identity
  • The final concept is Audience and Institution which we will be tested about the whole film industries relationship to each jobs such as exhibiturs and producers.
