Meaning Created In Media pt.1

Colour can determine how a article or picture is presented and it helps the audience relate or understand whats join on in the picture, whether it be positive or negative. The way the text is presented in could add passion or spirit into the story or article reaching out to the audience and establishing an emotional link. For example, the sun uses quite bold, simple text for more simple people whilst the 'Times' uses more formal text aimed at more sophisticated people. Language will also emphasis the text or spoken words and add passion of whatever the subject may be. Music influences the sub culture or the feeling of a video or film, for example if the music is quite angelic, the visual will be of something peaceful and the audience will feel peaceful as well . Simple things have an impact on the audience of a piece of media such as images whether it be of a dying child or a group of puppies, most viewers need a guideline on what the article is about.


Sounds effects can be the key element to a feature film or a short video, they emphasise certain movements or actions, for example in the clip above, the punch doesn't make as loud of a noise as it does in the movies. Performers are a vital part to a performance or a video, all depending on whether they meet the expectations of the director, the whole production could rely on whether the actors create an emotional connection to the scene. 






Mis En Scene creates meaning because it leads us to believe that we are looking at a real piece, not an act. For example, if you were watching a film about police and the actors were not in police uniforms  you would feel as if there wasn't a sense of verisimilitude. Props, like the costumes are vital in sustaining the viewers belief in the television show or movie. For example, the film 'Full Metal Jacket' wouldn't be as believable without the military equipment.
