Getting used to some media vocabulary..

In our starter lessons of media we have been getting used to a variety of media signs..


Another way to distance our analysis is to break down the elements of text into "signs"
we can break into two levels of analysis:
Denotation- Describe what you see
connotation-Discuss what the element means
Semiotics- meaning the study of signs
signifier-the object in the picture
signified- the impressions(such as expressions) of that object in the picture
sign- combination of signifier and signified


Mise en scene : putting the scene together, refers to settings and props, costume, body language, facial expressions and the use of colour and design
