Media Language Analysis

LO: To analyse a media text using Media Language.


What camera shot is this?

Long medium shot, I think they put it as that shot because it seems intense and serious.


What is he wearing?

He is wearing:

A navy blue jumper

A white shirt

Gloves

Trousers

Buckles


What props has he got?

Gun

A watch


What facial expressions has he got?

He looks quite serious


What is the background like?

Gold

Quite precious

Little bit blue

Metallic














5 different diegetic sounds I heard:

Motorbike

Car engine

Guns

Helicopter

Buildings smashing


I think the motorbike sounds were still there because in real life, riding one wouldn't be silent, and it has to seem realistic (that's the same with the car engine and helicopter). They kept the guns because guns are really loud and once again wouldn't be silent, buildings smashing would be also very loud and you would hear them fall on the floor so it would NOT be quiet. A few of these things showed danger. They wouldn't just leave big sounds out. So it seems more realistic, engines suggest speed, danger, excitement, so it seems better to watch. It brings the people in.

I could even hear the whip of the rope when it moved (when he went down it). You can even hear the wind (when it's really windy).


The transitions that were used were simple but good because it was showing there were different scenes from the movie.

The transition was fade to black.


The music and trailer goes from slow at the beginning to fast at the end.

It gradually gets faster and faster and more dramatic and better.

    A great analysis of the sound used in the trailer. Where is your one of the poster though?

Theoretical Framework

Wednesday 29th September 2021 LO: To apply the theoretical framework to media texts. Media Language All the different elements used to construct any media product. Camera Work: A camera lens  takes all the light rays bouncing around and uses glass to redirect them to a single point , creating a sharp image. When all of those light rays meet back together on a digital camera sensor or a piece of film, they create a sharp image. There are 9 shots. The main 3 are, close up, medium shot & long shot. Another is low angle. But of course there's high angle. Soundtrack: Best-selling soundtrack albums Rank Year Album 1 1992 The Bodyguard 2 1977 Saturday Night Fever 3 1987 Dirty Dancing 4 1997 Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture Mise-En-Scene: Mise-en-scène is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction.  M ise-en-scène
