Additional techniques include over-the-shoulder shots, eye-level views, high and low camera angles, Dutch tilts, birds-eye views, and worm's-eye views.
Six tips are provided for making movies: 1) Leave mistakes on tape and edit them out later instead of re-recording; 2) Record before and after scenes to ensure full context is captured; 3) Proper lighting sets the scene and creates depth; 4) Take notes on scenes and actors to aid the editing process; 5) Leave space around characters for natural movements; 6) Follow the Rule of Thirds for camera composition by placing subjects off-center.
There are two main types of stories for broadcast writing: news features and breaking news/daily announcements. News features are between 3 to 7 minutes long and discuss past events using a storyboard, while breaking news stories report on current events in short 15 second to 1 minute pieces written for a teleprompter. When writing for broadcast, stories should be conversational, concise, simplify complex ideas, and avoid newspaper-style writing conventions. Writers should also research information, avoid scaring viewers, and not characterize the news.

An extreme close-up fills the frame with a part of the face or body. An establishing shot establishes the scene and setting. A medium shot frames a subject from the waist up. A two shot shows two characters, often engaged in conversation to signify their relationship. Low and high angles are used to make a subject appear powerful or vulnerable, respectively. A long or wide shot provides more context by showing a subject and their surroundings.
Check your frame edges and background for distractions, position subjects using thirds grid lines or on a single line, and change perspectives from high and low angles to make footage more lively. Use natural frames within the scene like windows or archways to draw focus to the subject. Expand the frame by having subjects look off camera or break conventions for a personal creative expression.

The Sherlock series draws attention to its constructed nature as a postmodern text through various techniques:
1) It is self-aware of being a narrative and acknowledges the intertextual references and knowledge of both the historical Sherlock Holmes stories as well as the TV series itself that the audience possesses.
2) Characters like Mrs. Hudson point out their own functions within the narrative and the constructed nature of their roles.
3) Scenes and dialogue directly reference and parody elements from the original Sherlock Holmes stories and previous episodes, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
Postmodern media differs from other media in several key ways:
1) It opposes modernist ideas like objective truth and focuses instead on subjectivity and relativism.
2) It frequently references and comments on other media texts through techniques like parody and pastiche.
3) It lacks linear narratives and instead embraces fragmentation and irony.

This document contains examiner comments on student responses to a question about how their media production work was informed by research into real media texts and how their ability to use such research developed over time.
The examiner notes that higher scoring responses were able to provide specific examples of how research influenced creative decisions, critically reflect on the research process, and discuss progression from earlier work. Weaker responses lacked applied examples or evaluation. The examiner advises focusing responses and being clear about research outcomes rather than just listing sources. Higher scores required synthesis of examples, critical reflection, and awareness of development. Research can inform work in various ways beyond just genres, such as technical or institutional aspects.
The document provides information about the 2010 film Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan. It discusses the film's plot about sharing ideas through invading and stealing another's dreams. The document also reviews the film's box office revenue, awards, and themes it explores like confusing dreams and reality and having no single narrative.
The episode confuses boundaries between reality and fiction by having the main characters transported from their fictional supernatural TV show into the "real world" of the TV show's production. This postmodern narrative technique blurs the lines between the constructed nature of the media text and reality. The characters struggle to understand what is real as they interact with actors playing themselves and the director. The episode also comments on celebrity culture and fans' obsession with social media through its portrayal of the characters uncomfortable with their celebrity lifestyle.
Flight of the Conchords can be defined as a postmodern text based on several criteria. The TV show incorporates elements of postmodern theory as described by Strinati, such as blurring genre boundaries and playing with audience expectations. However, it also employs traditional media concepts at times. Overall, while Flight of the Conchords displays some postmodern features, it cannot be purely defined as postmodern and still incorporates traditional elements of narrative and representation. The show challenges rigid definitions of postmodernism.
This document discusses key concepts in traditional media and how postmodern texts challenge those concepts in three main ways. It outlines how postmodern media draws attention to its construction, challenges genre conventions through hybridity and subversion, and subverts audience expectations of representation, ideology and narrative through new stereotypes, ideas, and non-linear or open-ended structures. The postmodern audience is also described as diverse, fragmented, and active rather than passive.
The document discusses several theories of media audiences, including reception theory which states that audiences interpret media texts in different ways based on their own experiences and perspectives, rather than just accepting the producer's intended meaning. It also examines the hypodermic needle theory, which suggests audiences passively accept messages from media, and uses and gratifications theory, which proposes that audiences actively engage with media to fulfill various needs and desires.
This document summarizes several theories about media audiences:
- Cultivation theory suggests that repeated exposure to similar media representations can shape people's views of the world.
- Reception theory examines how audiences can interpret media messages in preferred, negotiated, or oppositional ways.
- Participatory culture theory describes how audiences actively engage with media texts by creating and sharing their own works.
- More recent theories argue that digital technologies have transformed passive audiences into active producers who can respond to and create their own media content.
This document discusses film techniques including camerawork, editing, mise en scene, and sound. It provides a specific example of each technique and explains how they relate to meaning and audience response. In a concise manner, the document outlines key cinematic elements.
The document discusses various concepts relating to how meaning is created through media language. It defines key terms like denotation and connotation, and how they relate to encoding and decoding meaning. Elements of media language that create meaning are explained, such as mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, and sound. The importance of understanding how these micro-level techniques construct intended meanings and can allow for alternative readings is highlighted. Analyzing one's own media products in terms of the specific examples of how these elements create key meanings and audiences' potential alternative interpretations is presented as a task for revising one's work.
This document provides guidance on answering exam questions about using conventions from real media texts in your own work. It emphasizes showing how your understanding of conventions has developed over time through various projects.
