I’ve been doing media studies for a few weeks now and I’ve learnt a lot of new terms and new language, so here is a post I am going to do every week or so when I learn new terms or language to do with mainly analylitical but also new shots ive found or editing skills.
Genre – this is what categorises films/books/music etc by what the content contains. E.g. comedy : funny jokes or actions done within a story line.
Linear- a story that has one fluent story line through out the whole film and runs very smoothly.
Non- Linear – a film that has several story lines going on at once, jumping from one and other, not running smoothly e.g. The Matrix.
Mise- en- scene – this is a word used about everything within the frame, what you are seeing as a viewer. E.g. The setting and location.
Convention – conventions are aspects that contribute towards a genre. E.g. rapid editing – action films.
Denotation – this is the primary meaning of something.
Connotation – this is a secondary meaning of something.
Representation – how something is presented within the content, how it is shown.
Stereotypes – prejudge and inferring something
To infer – reaching a conclusion by working things out; a logical guess
To deduce – reaching a conclusion by reasoning with something that is known; what we know
Juxtaposition – this is where all parts of the setting line up together
Ideology- belief/ system value practice throughout society.
