Preliminary exercise
EVALUATION
This is our groups preliminary exercise.
Our preliminary exercise went well well used plenty of different camera shots, remembering to use match on action, shot/reverse shot and remembering not to break 180 degree rule.
We need to improve our editing and cutting, there are also a few continuity errors in there which we need to fix and edit out for our final video.
Codes and Conventions in media
Codes:
Media students identify three categories of
codes that may be used to
convey meanings in media messages:
TECHNICAL
CODES,
which
include camera techniques,
framing, depth of field,
Mise en
scene, editing, lighting
and sound;
SYMBOLIC
CODES,
which
refer to objects, setting, body language,
clothing and colour.
WRITTEN
CODES
in the form of headlines, captions, speech bubbles and language style.

Conventions:
Conventions are the generally accepted
ways of doing something, and in the case of media texts, they are generally
accepted patterns of code that communicate a particular message.
There are general conventions in any medium, such as the use of quotes in a print article, but conventions are also genre specific. For example, in Westerns fights scenes are generally shot from a low angle, the setting is usually dusty and desolate, and even the sounds used within the scene are conventional, such as castonettes, or some sort of whistle.
