In our first lesson of Media Studies, we were introduced to the Media World. We analyzed photography, and gave feedback concerning movie snippets. In addition to this we learnt techniques, media terminology and the variation of camera shots.
As the lesson progressed we were informed on various Media language. We were told specific definitions such as the 'anchor' of the photograph. We were faced with a picture which illustrated a young girl handing a flower to a line of Vietnamese soldiers. The photographer went by the name of Marc Riboud.
As a class, we talked about the photograph and the effect it gave. We shared our personal opinions and understood that the flower conveyed a sense of peace. Also we gathered the genre was conflict as it ushered a sense of 'war and peace'.
From our homework we reviewed a scene in 'Mission Impossible 2' within this scene I touched upon the factors that made it a superb spectacle. The scene consisted of Tom Cruise climbing up a sunlit, indomitable mountain which opposed great dangers to his life! You could clearly distinguish the variety of techniques used.
You did well in your textual analysis of Mission Impossible (marked on paper).
