Media Language For Question 1b

Dear Year 13,
I was hoping to have seen a few more of you over the last week. Luckily I am going to be around periods 2,3 and4 on Monday if you need help revising, need to ask any questions etc.

A few of you were worried about the term 'media language'. In brief, this refers to the stuff that you analysed at AS for the Tv drama. So what technical codes (specific shots, editing techniques, effects mise-en-scene, sound) did you use to comunicate your message to the audience. Basically how did you encode your production piece.

It may be that you will overlap slightly in things that you say for narrative and genre but that's ok. As long as you are more focused on the more technical aspects of what you did.

Hope that's clear, otherwise see you period 2,3 or 4 on Monday.

Ms Pollard
