media language theory essay 1

Saussure’s semiotic codes like writing codes ie writing in blood on a wall is used to create a theme and to show the meaning. Barthes then added to this by having a literal meaning – denotation and a suggested meaning – connotation. The denotation being the blood writing on the wall whereas the connotations can be the meaning for example blood can be shown as life. Written codes can be used to move on the plot or theme. However due to desensitisation the audience ignores the meaning as it has been repeated. If we want the audience to be scared the trailer has to be more than conventions. I will be evaluating how the different codes can be used in other theories and how they can be applied to my groups trailer idea. Our trailer idea will be using symbolic codes like weaponry. This is shown as the antagonist has claws and sharp teeth that connotates that the weapons are phallic imagery as they penetrate the victim, showing power through violence.

DMT essay

Digital Media Technology is the software packages and hardware used to create media. These packages allow you to create more with ease and have the same equipment used by professionals. My magazine conveys the idea of experimentation however the software is pre-packaged and therefore less creative.

creativity and RMT - Essay

Conventions are followed as they allow for the audience to understand what genre or type of media a piece is. They can however be subverted or the conventions can be changed slightly while still recognizable; for example, a boost could be shaped like a circle or square, but if the intended meaning is shown (in this example a form of advertisement) then the use of convention is successful. I have learnt from the past two years that semiotics is different in each genre and how to adjust to them. In AS my focus was music magazines in a genre of our choice, to create the magazine I used References from real media texts or RMT. One of the ones that I used was NME – this was due to the fact it had a wide range of diverse types of artist but the outline was the same – this choice limited my creativity, however, it did allow me to understand the conventions of layout. From the magazine, I learned that the cover lines, boost and images fell into the ‘rule of thirds’ this helped me space my writ...
