what i have learnt in media studies recently

terms:

diegetic sound: sound that characters in the film can hear

non-diegetic sound: sound that the characters in the film can't hear, but we the audience can, e.g. a voice over

cinematography: the camerawork.

mise en scene: message conveyed in scene

editing: the way the shots are put together, also the way the sound is put together.

MEDIA DIARY, from Monday

well its a school night so that ofcourse means that the music comes on when i return home and doesn't go off untill night time. lately i've been listening to a lot of Bassekou Kouyate, he's a bit brilliant.
went on facebook, for ages and ages. i didnt watch any tv apart from a bit of World's Most Amazing Videos, it is possibly the greatest piece of prgramming ever, apart from that program called hole in the wall, where people jump through holes in walls, thats brilliant.

MEDIA DIARY, from Tuesday

not much media activity going on today on account of massive English Lit. essay :'(

music was on in the background all night however, i was enjoying the recently released Kitty, Daisy and Lewis album. its an agreeable listen, in a hillbilly styling.  

MEDIA DIARY, from Wednesday

listened to vinyls all night as i was relatively free on the homework front and therefore had enough time to be faffing around with the player and disks and all those things, there is something satisfying about having a vinyl record rather than a download, its more of a thing to cherish i think. went on facebook for a long while, as per usual. watched axe men and trawler men on TV, can't wait for the next series of ice road truckers.

MEDIA DIARY, from thursday

it was a pretty average day on thursday, listened to music and went on facebook and msn. also checked my bands myspace, which obviously had not been done in a very long time judging by the amount of unanswered important messages. i enjoyed this wonderful piece of film on youtube today

MEDIA DIARY, from Friday

Friday was party night, which meant the only media source i received was the music played by the Dj, so i probably enjoyed the latest chart toppers and a few "classics"
