Media Language ( Shot Sizes )

Image
Media Language :  Media language refers to the way media texts convey meaning to the audience. It is the codes and conventions used by producers to create meaning in their work. These are interpreted but the audiences often subconsciously and help them understand what’s going on in the sequence. Shot Size : One of the most important elements of media language is shot sizes. Shot sizes determine how much of the subject we will be able to see in our screens. They are very effective in shaping narratives , emotion and engage the audience.  There are several types of shots :  1.

History of the Films

The film industry has developed over more than a century having some major changes in its production , stories and different elements.  The Late 80’s : The Introduction of Motion  In the late 80’s , movement was created using zoetrope , a spinning cylinder which gave an illusion of motion and along with that magic lanterns , an earlier version of modern day projectors which using a light source and a lens projected the images onto a wall or any surface.

My Favourite Movie / Series

MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MOVIE / SERIES IS BREAKING BAD WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. WATCHING IT IN 2023 , NOT A LONG TIME AGO BREAKING BAD’S HYPE WAS ALL OVER MY FEED AND THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON WHY I DECIDED TO WATCH IT ON THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PIECE OF MEDIA THAT EVERYONE IS SO GASPED ABOUT. BUT SINCE THE DAY I’VE WITNESSED THE SEASONS OF THAT MASTERPIECE I COULDN’T GET OVER WITHOUT TELLING PEOPLE HOW GOOD IT IS. IT’S SOMETHING I COULD DISCUSS FOR DAYS WITHOUT GETTING A SINGLE BIT OF BOREDOM. THE TOPIC AND IDEA OF THE FILM ITSELF IS SOMETHING SO FASCINATING BUT THE WAY WALTER WHITE TURNED FROM A NORMAL FAMILY MAN , A CHEMISTRY TEACHER TO A METH PRODUCER AND SELLER IS INSANE. ALONG WITH THAT THE PRODUCER AARON PAUL AND BRYAN CRANSTON ( saw the credits so many times I remember their names as well lol ) SOLD THEIR IDEA SO GOOD THAT NOT A SINGLE SCENE OR SEQUENCE OF ANY EPISODE IS BLAND OR BORING. THE BEST THING ABOUT BB IS THAT IT DOESN’T RE...
