Good old analysis .. you cant avoid it. Its extremely important to use media language when analysing still and moving images to see how the text is constructed you need to use these words and words like CONNOTATIONS in your Exam..
Today we started off brainstorming all the terms we could use :
Mise en scene / Settings / Diagetic Sound / Editing / Camera Angles / Camera Shots / Props and costume / Lighting / Make up / Dialogue / Soundtrack / Character Expression / Space / Colour / Camera Movement etc etc
Then we looked at some still images and annotated them for the connotations
We then looked at how a media studies text book did it:
Analsyis of Crime Drama Mi Seen Scene
and then stated analysing the opening credits and their use of iconography :
Nice one - get analysing
