Hello,
Your VIMA 2 in Media is on Thursday P1 and P2.
You need to recap and revise the following:
1. Representations (we will focus on each of these in detail across the year):
a. Age
b. Social Class and Social Status
c. Regional Identity
d. Sexuality
e. Disability
f. Race and ethnicity
g. Gender
2. Four Key areas
a. Camera
b. Sound
c. Editing
d. Mes-en-scene
3. Terminology – accurate and appropriate
a. Representation terms (examples)
1. Stereotype
2. Hegemonic/counter-hegemonic reading
3. Denotation/connotation
4. Target audience
b. Technical terms (examples)
1. diegetic/non-diegetic sound
2. covert/overt editing
3. movement (tilt, pan, zoom or creep)
4. shot-reverse-shot
5. over-the-shoulder shot
6. Flat angle
7. long shot
8. costume
9. narrative
10. ASD – Average shot duration
I want you to recap your VIMA 1 feedback and watch an episode of a TV Drama, analyse the four key areas, and practice a written discussion of one of the areas of representation e.g. gender.
Email me if you have any questions,
Thanks
- Miss O
