From this lesson I have learnt about Semi-otics, which is the study of signs. I also learnt about how denotations is what you see in the picture or frame but the word conotation relates to what is actually happening. In film media langauge defined by how the camera, editing, sound and mise-en-scene all create meaning. However, for printed media the language is defined by fonts, layout, the combination of text and images and the actual words used all create meaning.

This is a clip that was shown in class about how media langauage can be applied to our own films. For instance the choice of editing can can make our footage smoother and connote meaning.
