TEXTUAL ANALYSIS
Semiology (Study of Signs)Download the information that we used when looking at how we read pictures. This contains some very important media language that you should use everyday as part of your analysis.
Types Of EditDownload the Powerpoint presentation for editing that we used in class. This includes all of the definitions as well as the video examples that were used. Remember that editing is the least explored area in the exam so if you can mention it and you have something useful to say you will get lots of marks.

Types of SoundBelow is the PowerPoint used in class to define the different types of sound with the video examples. Use this to refresh your memory and get used to spotting the use of sound in media texts.
Mise-en-SceneDownload the PowerPoint with a definition and some examples of how miss-en-scene can be used and read to create meanings. This can be very important when analysing representations as the visual codes used can communicate a great deal about a character.
