The Four concepts of media studies refers to; media language, representation, audience and institutions.

Media Language refers to the language used in media of which we will be tested on, by analysing the following.

·         Cinematography      (the camera shots used in the film clip)

·         Editing    (the transitions and changes in audio)

·         Sound   (the character them tunes and soundtracks used)

·         Mise en scene  (everything within the scene e.g. the location, props and extras)

After watching the clip we will then be expected to in detail explain the differences in the above categories, the reason they were chosen e.g. pan shots and if they work or not.

Representation refers to how a certain group of people are betrayed throughout the clip. This includes certain stereotypes normally given to people in categories such as,

·         Age

·         Gender

·         Ethnicity.

·         Sexuality

·         Regional identity

·         Ability/disability

·         Class/ social status

After watching the short clip, we will have to identify and analyse the stereotypes which have been given e.g. young teenagers as hoodies, and people of different ethnicities mannerisms.

The last concepts are joined, Audiences and Institutions. This refers to not only the audience watching the movie, (if a movie is aimed a certain target group this will affect the viewers). e.g. if a movie is aimed at women the highest percentage of viewers is likely to be women. The institutions involved also play a part. This from the people who produce and make the film to the distributors and the people involved in exhibiting the films.

After watching the short film clip we will be tested on the knowledge of the relations between the people at the first stages of the movie all the way up to the viewing the movie.
