L6 Media Studies 1 Introduction.pptx
This document provides an introduction to media studies, including key concepts and textual analysis. It discusses why media is studied, defines media as the place people inhabit, and lists examples of media like film, television, newspapers, and video games. The document outlines four key concepts for analyzing media: media language, representation, audience, and institutions. It then focuses on media language and how meaning is constructed through codes like visual codes, technical codes, and narrative codes. Semiotics, the study of signs, is introduced, discussing how signs have denotation and connotation. The document provides examples of analyzing signs and media texts through breaking them down into their visual and technical codes.
Part 1 - Silent Era
The document provides a brief history of cinema from early inventions that created the illusion of movement to modern CGI films. It discusses early optical toys and chronophotography that led to the first moving images. Thomas Edison then developed one of the first movie cameras and the Kinetoscope for individual viewing. The Lumiere brothers combined the camera and projector, allowing films to be projected for audiences. The first feature films emerged in the silent era, but talking pictures began with The Jazz Singer in 1927, marking the transition from silent to sound films.
Introduction to Film Genre
This document discusses film genres and how they are classified. It notes that films are classified by their makers, marketers, reviewers and rating boards, and that these classifications shape how audiences encounter and understand films. Genres group films to create expectations and familiarity for audiences. The document discusses how genres are fluid systems of learned conventions and expectations, not fixed sets of elements, and how filmmakers and audiences both actively engage in meaning making within genres.
Auteur theory
The document discusses auteur theory, which focuses on analyzing films based on the director's personal creative vision and stylistic choices rather than just the genre or studio production process. It originated in 1950s France as a way to elevate American and French films to an art form by highlighting the director's role. Key aspects of auteur theory include analyzing a director's technical competence, coherent personal style, and consistent worldview across multiple films. The document provides several examples of iconic directors and their recognizable stylistic traits, such as John Ford's use of landscape and Alfred Hitchcock's shot patterns. It also notes some critiques of auteur theory, such as its minimization of collaborative filmmaking.

Key concepts are defined to help students understand representations in TV drama and analyze the film industry accurately.
Narrative Structure in film
The document discusses key concepts in narrative structure and techniques used in films to tell stories. It defines narrative form as the structure through which movies convey stories. It then explores concepts like narrative elements being present across different media, the logical sequence of events in narratives, common narrative structures involving setup, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution, use of characters including traits, goals and obstacles, different types of conflict, and diegetic vs nondiegetic elements.
The french new wave
The French New Wave was a film movement that emerged in France in the late 1950s and 1960s. Inspired by young film critics writing for Cahiers du Cinema, it emphasized auteur theory and featured unconventional stylistic techniques like jump cuts, handheld camerawork, and location shooting. Directors like Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Eric Rohmer made personal, politically-minded films that broke conventions and influenced global cinema.

Cinema history
Cinema is the technique of projecting moving images to create the sense of movement. It was made possible by the invention of the cinematograph in 1895 by the Lumière Brothers. Over time, cinema evolved from silent films to include sound, then color. It is created through the collaborative efforts of directors, actors, screenwriters and other filmmakers. Some common film genres include silent films, science fiction, horror, suspense, war films, westerns, animated films, fantasy, and dramas.
Codes and conventions of indie music videos
1) Indie music videos often feature live performances to keep the focus on the artist's talent and passion for music. This conveys the genre's emphasis on music over commercial success.
2) Narrative videos are also popular, using a story to make the video more memorable and engage viewers. Special effects allow more creative storylines.
3) Mise-en-scene elements like sets, costumes, and makeup are used to establish retro aesthetics common in indie rock and convey themes through a character's appearance.
Film editing techniques
This document provides information on film and video editing techniques. It defines film editing and describes concepts like montage and juxtaposition. It lists different types of cuts and edits that can be used, including examples, and discusses relationships between shots. It also defines continuity editing and the Hollywood method. The document analyzes a scene from Inglorious Bastards to demonstrate spatial relationships and the use of cross-cutting/parallel editing.
The Theory of Montage:
Montage is a film editing technique developed in the Soviet Union in the 1920s as a propaganda tool. It involves juxtaposing short shots to imply a relationship between them and derive new meanings. Sergei Eisenstein was a pioneer who believed montage should provoke intellectual thought in viewers. Directors like Pudovkin used montage to imply narrative through contrasting shots rather than actors' behavior. Montage aims to impact viewers intellectually and emotionally through conflicts created between visual elements and a new implied meaning. It remains influential for modern filmmakers in constructing meaning through intentional shot sequencing.
The History of Short Film
The history of short films began in 1878 when Eadweard Muybridge took multiple photos of a galloping horse to study its motion, inadvertently creating one of the first moving images. Early short films in the 1900s were typically 15-20 minutes due to expensive film stock and technology limitations. During World War II, short films were used extensively for propaganda by various nations. The 1990s saw a resurgence of independent short filmmaking due to more affordable digital cameras. Today, short films are widely shared online, helping launch the careers of directors who later create feature films.
History of Indian Cinema (part-IV)
The golden age of Indian cinema was between 1944-1960. This period saw the rise of great directors who made landmark films that gained national and international fame, helping establish Indian cinema as a force globally. Socio-political melodramas from this era like Mother India and Pyaasa are considered some of the best films ever made. It was also a time when parallel cinema emerged. Central organizations like the CBFC, NFDC, and Film Division were established to regulate, promote and archive Indian cinema.
emeli sande heaven analysis
The document provides an analysis of the music video for Emeli Sande's song "Heaven" through the lens of various film techniques and theories of representation. It discusses how the video uses mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, and narrative elements to portray the struggles of working-class Londoners and suggest they deserve forgiveness. While some shots depict issues like drugs and gangs, the video aims to evoke sympathy rather than portray this group as a problem. It can be seen as a counter to stereotypical media representations of the working class and seeks to show everyone, including celebrities, face difficulties in staying true to their faith.
Intro to Film: Editing
The editor's role is to coordinate shots and eliminate unwanted footage to craft a coherent narrative. They select usable takes, trim extra frames before and after each take, and decide how to transition between shots. The editor works closely with the director to ensure scenes edit together smoothly. Different editing styles, like realism versus formalism, determine how obtrusive the edits are and how much meaning is derived from the editing itself versus performance. Transitions like cuts, dissolves and jump cuts signal relationships between shots.
Film Studies -- Week 2 -- Film History/Language of Cinema
Early experiments in film involved capturing motion through successive photographs, like Eadweard Muybridge's photographs of a running horse in 1878. Thomas Edison then developed the Kinetograph camera and Kinetoscope viewer in the late 1880s, though his films were confined to his studio. The Lumiere Brothers introduced the portable Cinematographe camera and projector in 1895, allowing them to capture real-world events. One of their first films was the 50-second A Train Arriving at the Station. Early cinema was more focused on spectacle than narrative, but films like Melies's A Trip to the Moon in 1902 began introducing fantasy and basic plot elements. Directors like D.W. Griffith then advanced film

History of Film
The history of film began in the 1880s with the invention of the first movie camera. Most early films produced before 1930 were silent. One of the earliest films was Roundhay Garden Scene filmed in 1888 in England. The Lumière brothers later developed the Cinématographe device for filming, printing, and projecting movies. The first public film showing occurred in Paris in 1895. As the silent film era continued, filmmakers began experimenting with special effects and animated films to enhance viewers' experiences. By the early 1900s, color film was also being developed, as the motion picture industry continued to evolve new techniques.

Soviet montage (1924 30)
This document discusses Soviet Montage, a film editing technique developed in the Soviet Union between 1924-1930. It highlights key Soviet filmmakers like Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov who pioneered montage through techniques like juxtaposition to emphasize ideas and advance propaganda goals. Montage became an essential filmmaking style of the time period that shaped Soviet cinema through its emphasis on rapid editing and nonlinear storytelling.
Experimental film codes and conventions
Experimental films reject mainstream conventions and aim to challenge notions of what films can show and how they can be shown. They have no set rules and can take many forms, from abstract films that organize images through movement and color to surrealist films that portray dreams. Plots are non-narrative and can be about anything the director wishes to express. Audiences may feel confused or shocked by experimental films since interpretations are individual. They typically have very low budgets and are produced by small crews or individuals.
