NEA Part 1 - Media Language and Representations Analysis

Post 1 –  How is media language used in 2 media products to create meaning through constructing representations and following genre conventions?

The best way to answer this is by looking at the representations first, then look at how media language is used to create them... 

• What type of shot/music are they using? 
• What connotations do the colours they use have? 
• What does the set represent the time and place of the situation? 
• What does the make-up and hair used say about the characters/models? 
• What does the body language say about the attitudes of the characters/models used?
• What connotations can the type of lighting used in the shot/scenes have? How does it help create representation?
