House of cards code and text anaylsis

In Grand Theft Auto the connotations are-
- Violence because there are images of the man with gloves and bruises on his face. The lighting is darker on his face than on hers. He has scruffy facial hair. 
- Sexualisation because the women are dressed up in sexual outfits. 
- Romance/lust because the girl is in red which means lust 



Note you are analysing the media language associated with the media text you must therefore also ensure that the three codes are analysed :
A code is a system of signs which can be decoded to create meaning.
technical codes – all to do with the way a text is technically constructed – camera angles, framing, typography etc
Verbal codes – everything to do with language -either written or spoken

Symbolic codes – codes that can be decoded on a mainly connotational level

Media Language in the Jungle Book

­­Media Language in the Jungle Book In the 2016 trailer of the Jungle Book has been created using computers and CGI as well as special effects making it look verisimilitude . The animals and background images have been made to look incredibly realistic, this then attracts attention to how the movie looks so real when really it’s a movie containing talking animals. In comparison the 1967 version of the Jungle Book has been made as a cartoon with no special computers or technology, the backgrounds are watercolour and the animals are simple animations. This doesn’t make the movie realistic and is more attractive to the younger audience. Dramatic non-diegetic music has been used throughout the trailer to give the audience a small hint that the movie is going to be really dramatic and have lots of twists and turns. Then there is the diegetic sound of Scarlet Johansson talking as the snake, which is calm and juxtaposes the dramatic movie but then towards the end of the movie you act...

Media Technology Essay

How has technology had an impact on the way large organisations create blockbuster films? Disney is part of a large group of multi-media companies called 'The Big 6', this means they have power and lots of resources that smaller companies won't have. A blockbuster film is a film with a high budget and big stars feature in it.  Spectacle is what all the large film companies rely on, it encourages families to go to the cinema to watch a film, it makes it seem like seeing the film on the big screen with surround sound will make the movie more enjoyable to watch. This means that that the company such as Disney will make more profit out of it.
