the idea that there are 3 hypothetical positions from which messages are meaning may be decoded
the dominant hegemonic position- This is also known as the preferred reading . the encoders intended meaning is fully understood
the negotiated position - the legitimacy of the encoders message is acknowledged in general terms although the message is adapted pr negotiated to better fit the decodes own individual experiences or context.
the Oppositional position - the encoders message is understood but the decoder disagrees with its reading .

media language ghost ship analysis
media language
technique feature?
screen time - the girl is on at screen at pivotal parts of the plot (when the mood changes when the action begins )
why is it there ?
it lets the audience identify her as a central character and then her as the guide through the film it allows us to emphasise with her as an innocent victim
changes in tempo of the music - slow then faster then it stops
why is it there ? - mood of the diabetic music is parallel to the plot slowly dies out as people die quite at the end then the scream
speeds of the transitions and then the type of transitions changes - slow at the start slow fade etc then straight cuts at a fast pace
why is it there? - speed enhances the shock for the audiences and also creates complete confusion so the then the body fall apart the horror is greater
sound effects and volume
why is it there?- slash sounds squelching volume is enhanced adds tp hyperrealism - helps understanding and gives audience satisfaction music goes away

boyz in the hood
boyz in the hood
camera - The opening scene starts of immediately showing a red stop sign . The reason for this is to show a sense of danger could occur . It makes the audience fear about what's about to happen. you could also say that this represents the boys in America . When we look further into this , we could say that things need to stop , possibly children in America acting bad . the angle of the camera is slightly positioned in a low angle , this could represent the children position in America. The movement of this first scene zooms in getting closer and closer to the word stop . it then focuses on the children the camera moves with them in this scene . when the little boy gets angry the camera zooms in an focuses on his face this is done to show his expressions more clearer
Mise en scene - the costume the children wear is very 80s styled clothing it creates a natural light .The girl in the blue looks like she likes her fashion however you would not wear this look to school we could suggest here from her mother letting her go out in this shows not a lot of care for her however this is an uncertain estimate .
the lighting for this film is quote light and we do not see a great sense of quality maybe because of the time period this was set in makes it more realistic .
the setting places on a run down street with crime scene banners to stop people entering .the neighbour hood does not look very looked after . the police line shows a dense of danger that we got from the very start . blood on the floor shows mystery and the fact that the children have found it makes the neighbourhood dodgy . the police line has not stopped children entering this could suggest the children don't think much of the police or that the police in that town don't look after one another . the children do not look frightened or shocked when they see the blood unlike a in a normal town this would be very concerning . therefore this suggest that they are used to it and happens frequently in this neighbourhood
editing - in this short opening scene there are a lot of transitions being displayed . there is a slow zoomed in edit at the start , this is when the camera zooms in . there is a fast pace scene especially when they are walking the camera follows them . the boy who is has blue clothing on makes the audience think that he has a big part and the most important as he has the most screen time . when there is a fight scene there are a lot of transitions so get all the actions and angels . we see time passed when the little boys walks
sound - when you first hear this opening scene you hear dramatic dialogue off screen then immediately followed by drilling , the music is playing afer is slow to build it up this fits the mood and therefore is parallel . the sounds you hear from the boys fighting show anger and hatred and you get to see the emotion towards one another in their voice

counter types
A older lady at this age would not attend a gym therefore this is a counter-type. older women tend to care less about their appearance and gaining muscle . this
is not a normal thing that you would see when you go to a gym . an old lady wold be classes as fragile and week however this goes against this statement
this next one is from a magazine a lady modelling for a clothes website . this would be a counter type as from society you would not see a larger lady modelling . the society has positioned itself to see peole who model to be "perfect size" and not larger .
