First 5 Things Learned in Media Studies

So far in media studies I have learned about:

1. Mise-en-scene, this is about what is shown on the frame, props and positioning of actors, clothes worn, surroundings etc.

2. The rule of thirds, you should never have your main actor/actress in the middle of a shot, but more toward the corners of the shot, it makes for a more interesting shot.

3. How Horror movies set the scene and how yo9u are thrown into the story of the movie very early on

4. How different shots of characters (close ups mid shots and full length shots) can give actors different amounts of moving space and how the shots can make the movie feel different.

5. I learned how Tom Cruise is really short and is never shot from the waist down.
