Introduction to Film Language

Our first unit preparing for the MEST2 coursework is on Film Language.

This will introduce or revise the key media terminology that is vital across coursework and the exam. Over the next half-term, you'll be watching clips from some of the most iconic films in Hollywood history alongside researching genres and learning the technical language of cinematography, lighting and sound. 

Your first task will involve looking at iconic film posters and considering genre and audience.

Blog task: Complete the 'Film Poster Analysis' from the Film Language PowerPoint:

  • Analyse all EIGHT posters in as much detail as possible;
  • Try to include media terminology that you might have learnt at GCSE;
  • Explain WHY for each of the three questions for each poster;
  • Post up all your answers on your new blog;
  • Include the actual posters in your blog posting.
Due: next lesson
