What I have learnt so far in media:

Genre:
In media, I have learn't all about genre, and the different types of genres which can be formed such as hybrids and sub-genres. I have learn't that genre is never fixed and is constantly changing and altering to entertain the audiences. I have learn't that each genre has codes and convection which directors and producers have to follow to create a successful film in their specific genre. Genre is not static but constantly renegotiated between industry and audience. I have learn't that films constantly have new twists o keep the audiences entertained and willing to go back to see a new film.

Editing:
I have learnt that editing is the process of altering something to make it tell a story or to create a meaning. Editing constructs a narrative out of footage. I have learn't that live TV is not actually live. Live TV has a 15 minute period in which real life actions takes place, then editing has taken placed, then is shown to the audience. I have also learn't that not all we see on TV or in a specific program is true or reality. It can be altered and pieced together to represent a different interpretation of a certain scene or character. the producers use editing to alter the audiences thought on a certain character. Finally, I have learn't that editing can be used to make a certain story or event more important than another. For example, on the news a specific story can be shown longer than another to make it seem more important or to make the audience believe it is more important.

Mise-en-scene:
Mise-en-scene is a french term  for "placing on stage". It is everything that can be identified in the scene or frame. Mise-en-scene is built up using five key elements: setting & props, costume, hair & make-up, facial expressions & body language, lighting and colour and positioning of characters/objects within the frame.
I have learn't that sound changes when a diferent setting changes. This is used to create a mood or tension in the story.

Sound:
Sound is used in film to create a mood or tension when a setting changes or the way character react to a certain situation. Sound is represented and produced differently with different genres. Such as: An action movie would have a fast tempo or ace to the music, or , a horror movie would usually have a high pitched sound to build the tension and to put the audience on edge.

There are two types of sound: Diegetic and Non-Diegetic.
Diegetic sound is sound that appears naturally from the scene. For example, sound made from props.
Non-Diegetic sound is sound that are not natural to the scene. For example, a narrator.

Camera techniques:
Camera is used in films to show different characters emotions using facial expressions or body language.
Camera angles:
High-angled shot: looks down on the character to make them feel weak and vulnerable.
Low-angled shot: shows the scene.
Long shot: shows the setting.
Close-up: shows characters facial expressions.
Extreme close-up: shows the characters face in detail.
A two shot: two people together in the scene.
P.O.V angle: point of view of the character.
