Theoretical Framework

 Media language is - all the different elements used to construct any   media product. 

   camerawork - shot type, angle and movement

• sound track
• mise-en-scene
• editing - transitions, pace and special effects 
•  
• 
  
•   establishing shot shows us where the scene is taking        place 
•   wide shot places people in a scene 
•   full shot/long shot shows a full body- from feet to head 
•   medium full shot/long shot shows a person from about        their    thigh upwards
•   medium/mid shot shows a person from about the waist up 
•   medium close up shows a person from their chest upwards 
•   a close up shows just the face, used to normally show      emotions 
•   extreme close up either focuses on one part of the face    or on an object zoomed in 

 soundtrack

• music 

• sound effects 

• dialogue

• voiceover

   can be diegetic or non diegetic

diegetic - all of the sound that you would hear if you were in that scene e.g. crashing, traffic, explosions 

non-diegetic - anything added by editing that only the audience can hear e.g. music, voiceovers

diegetic sounds - glass shattering, people talking/shouting, gunshots, hitting people/being hit

non-diegetic sounds - background music 

   

 mies-en-scene

      includes everything that can be seen in a frame

• costume

• props

• setting

• hair and makeup

• lighting

• actor positioning 

• body language and facial expressions 

editing

 includes all the post production work on a moving image

• transitions 
• pace and speed
• CGI
• green screening
• graphics
