History of radio 1
The radio was invented in the 1890s by Guglielmo Marconi. The BBC was formed in 1922 and originally had a monopoly over radio broadcasting in the UK. Over time, competition emerged from television, deregulation allowed commercial radio stations, and the internet has further expanded access to radio. Today there are over 800 radio stations in the UK, including the BBC's 10 national stations, regional stations, and local stations as well as numerous commercial options.

- 3. Definition: Mise En Scene • A French term meaning what is put into a scene or frame • Visual information in front of the camera • Communicates essential information to the audience • Made up of 6 elements: Can you guess what they are?
- 4. The 6 Elements of Mise en Scene • Settings • • Props • Costume, hair & make up • Performance, facial expressions, body language. • Positioning and movement of characters/objects within the frame • Lighting & colour Each aspect of mise-en- scene has encoded meanings and sends signals to the audience about how we are supposed to feel at a certain point
- 5. 1. Settings • Settings & Locations play an important part and are not just ‘backgrounds’. • Settings can manipulate an audience by building certain expectations (these expectations can then be played with!). • TASK: What settings might you find in: 1. A Science Fiction? 2. A Romantic Comedy? 3. A Horror? 4. A Western?
- 6. 2. Props • Props build on the setting to create a believable ‘world’. • • Props can be used to establish character. • Props can be used as symbols to connote additional meanings over and above their material presence. • • ‘At their simplest, props work to give an authentic sense of place, but can also be used in more complex ways to suggest important characteristics of particular individuals or even key themes for the whole film.’ (Benyahia, Gaffney & White, 2006)
- 7. Devdas (Samanta, 2002) Strong flame = Strong character presence/full of life Shaky flame = problems with character relationships/health Dim flame/going out = Character leaving/dying
- 8. 3. Costume, Hair & Make Up • Costume, Hair & Make Up act as an instant indicator of a character’s personality, status & job. • It can tell us immediately whether a narrative is set in the present and what society or culture it will centre around. • • Certain costumes can signify certain individuals (i.e. black cloak of a vampire, Spidey’s Spiderman suit) • • Costumes are used to show difference or similarity between characters, changes in an individual’s character or mood as the narrative progresses and whether or not they fit in with the setting.
- 9. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996)
- 10. 4. Facial Expressions & Body Language • Facial Expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling. • If someone is smiling broadly, we assume they are happy but we may get a different feeling if this is accompanied by scary music. • Body Language may also indicate how a character feels towards another character or may reflect the state of their relationship • • TASK: What meanings/emotions do the following images convey:
- 11. IMAGE 1
- 12. IMAGE 2
- 13. 5. Positioning of Characters & Objects within a frame • Positioning within a frame can draw our attention to an important character/object • • A director can use positioning to indicate relationships between people • • TASK: What does the positioning in the following images reveal about the characters/narrative?
- 17. Lighting & Colour Lighting & Colour can be used to achieve a variety of effects: • To highlight important characters or objects within the frame • To make characters look mysterious by shading sections of the face & body • To reflect a characters mental state/hidden emotions (i.e. bright = happy, dark = disturbed, strobe effect = confused
- 18. Types of Lighting • HIGH KEY LIGHTING: • More filler lights are used. • • Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes. • Produces brightly lit sets or a sunny day (right). • • The three point lighting system is commonly used to create this.
- 19. Types of Lighting • LOW KEY LIGHTING: • Expressive lighting • • Created by using only the key & back lights • Produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas • Deep, distinct shadows/silhouettes are formed
- 20. What types of lighting are used in the following images: A FD C E B
- 21. Colour - Red hue Mean Streets (Scorsese, 1973)
