Bourne Identity Essay

-
  In the extract from the movie Bourne Identity meaning is created through the 4 elements, camera shots/angles/movement and composition, editing, sound, and mise-En-scene.   Mise-En-scene is shown a lot throughout as meaning can be found from most of the things put into the film. For example, two key colours, blue and red, are used to represent the main character, Bourne’s, life.    Red represents the future, who he is becoming and blue is his past, who he was.

Power in the Media

  How is the War of the Worlds example of 1938 a good example of audiences relating to a media product? What was the context of this event?  The slot being part of the Mercury on the air theatre segment helped to target listeners who enjoyed theatre and drama. His voice was used as the voice over, so it allowed it to be familiar to some listeners. The way it was designed made it seem real realistic to audiences and may have made some audiences scared. like the use of a panicked voice and mentions of real New York locations. Like how the Hypodermic needle theory suggests that message is received and wholly accepted by the receiver, the audience becomes a passive audience as the story is so relatable and real they don't even question it being fiction. The reactions of the audiences vary from being subtle to quite over exaggerated. We can identify the exaggeration through how the step theory states that messages are influenced by the media, as the radio air was mentione...
