As the media course is completely new to our class, it is important that we learn some definitions:
MISE-EN-SCENE: this is everything in the frame
SEMIOTICS: the study of signs
SIGNIFIER: the object in the picture
SIGNIFIED: the implications of that object in the picture
SIGN: the combination of the signifier and signified that make the picture
DIEGETIC SOUNDS: sounds which are part of the world of the film
NON-DIEGETIC SOUNDS: sounds which come from 'outside' that world
POV: this is when the audience sees through the eyes of the character, this is a technique often used in thrillers.
These definitions are useful to us as we will eventually be using them in our final exam.
