Ways in which a moving image communicates with its audience:
  • Colour
  • Tone of voice
  • Language (Formal, Informal)
  • Editing (Transitions)
  • Accents
  • Mise-en-scene: Setting, Costume, Lighting, Character Appearance
  • Semiotics: Verbal & Non-verbal communication, Denotations and Connotations
  • Narrative: The story unfolding
  • Genre: the type of product and the signifiers (signs) of which genre it belongs to (including serial/series conventions)
Analysing a moving image using media language:
  • Technical codes: Cinematography (camerawork & lighting) and editing
  • Sound: Digetic (the audience and actors can hear e.g tv being turned on) and Non-Digetic (only audience can hear e.g. music over the top, voice over etc), Sound effects
  • Codes: Actions, Enigma, Cultural, symbolic
  • Codes and Conventions: the way things are normally done in products of this kind, and the extent to which this product challenges or reinforces it.
