These sounds were used to connote the idea of building tension or inte...

Parallel and contrapuntal sound: 3.  Media sound practical Me and Sanjivanni created a video which shows how the sound and the image are parallel (parallel sound) where it shows baby pictures until it reaches 30 seconds, the sound is also a kid's song which we got from YouTube. After 30 seconds, the images change to when we're teenagers which is the present day, where it then has a contrapuntal sound due to the kid's song contradicting with the images as it's not what you would expect to hear for teenage images. We've created this to allow the audience to reflect on how far they've become and to reflect on everything they've been through.

  1) Still image analysis Look at the still images on slides 33-37 of the Film Language Powerpoint linked above. Copy the images into your blog and answer the following questions for each image: Identify examples of high and low-key lighting. Say which depict top, back or under lighting. What effects are created by the lighting in each image?      1. Low-key lighting connoting enigma, where the light focuses on the smoke which could connote that she could be hiding something. 2.

  I read about the MM52 media magazine and it shows how there's a lot in the media that we can get information from. The magazine talks about the politics, ideology, power, and the media, where it shows how the media producers are trying to produce and get more information on diverse ideas. In addition, they talk about the BBC archive, which gives me an idea on what BBC produced and how it was in the media history, which is interesting as it shows the past news and how was social media like back then. An example of this could be the interviews with Martin Luther King, Orson Welles and Muhammad Ali. Furthermore, it also tells me about the great of British commedy, politics and literature, which shows how the media has changed throughout as well as the history in society.
