Sounds
Sound
*Diegetic sound- sound with in the story (for example the sound of someone walking)
*Non-diegetic- sound from outside the story (sound track or voice over)
*Sound track (scone)- music chosen to go with a scene
*Sound effects- sound added in post production for creating drama
*Theme- sound track which goes with curtain situations or characters (for example pink panther has his own sound track)
*Ambient sound- natural sounds from the environment (for example a bird singing at the back ground just to make it look like summer even though its not)
*Dialogue- actors speech (intonations/accent)
*sound-bridge- sound track which bridges across two scenes (sound starts with a scene and then caries on into another)
In the representation of disability secret diary the scene starts of with diegetic sound and it is mostly used throughout the scene for example when she is closing the locks of the door they make it sound loud to show that her closing the door is making the boy uncomfortable and scared about what would happen to him. Also the father of the boy usually never finishes his sentences to show that they are all in a very awkward position, same as the girl, she feels very awkward because the father is with him and also he has to be there to pick him up from his chair. With no sound in the atmosphere it makes it even more awkward, they did this so that the audiences can feel how they feel and so they no what is going on because there is silence. The first sound that comes in is when the father goes into the car and he plays the radio and then turns it of. Then he starts to play with the windows and the car seat and then he sounds his horn. After he does that a non- diegetic sound comes on which is music and the music is used as a sound-bridge because it moves from one scene to another. The sound that is used for this scene is a very depressing sound because it makes you feel sympathy for the disabled boy.

Editing.
Objective:- learn editing terms
- analyse clip for editing techniques
Continuity editing- invisible editing makes action flow smoothly
*Eye line match- shot A: looking and shot B: what there looking at
*180 rule (camera cannot move to the other side of the line because if it does it will confuse the audience and they wouldn't know where the characters are looking.)
*Crosscutting- cutting from scene to scene to suggest simultaneous narratives (shows that two scenes are happning at once but in two diffrent locaitions.)
*Action match- an action starts in one shot and is completed in the next (doing this makes the shot smoother, for example a boy kicking the ball from far and then the shot moving close to him as he kicks the ball)
*Graphic match- two shots chosen for graphic similarity (Rolo and watch, both have the same shape and look alike)
*Shot- reverse shot- used during conversations (one person talking and the camera on them, then the other talking n camera moves to them, this happens continuously while each person talks.)
- transitions- cut (hard cut)
dissolve or cross fade
fade in or fade out
jump cut
-montage: shots chosen for thematic relationship- often used to show development and to "crunch" time
-pace: how does the edit affect the mood through pace
-privilege (more screen time) and marginalisation (less screen time) - for the characters

Anuvahood
The Film Anuvahood has many different types of media languages for example the cinematography which is lighting and camera. The lighting of this film is bright and usually filmed in the day because the genre of it is comedy. As for the camera, it has many different types of camera angles, for example close ups and extreme close ups to show an affect of what is happening.
The film Anuvahood represents many different ways of the media language, for example the age. In one part of the film there is a scene where an older man that is the age of 40 and over and there is a teenager between the age of 16-19 arguing. This shows the difference between the age group and how they do not get along with each other. This could also be a stereotype because usually teenagers argue with the people that are older than them.
In the film there is also regional identity for example a Asian man and a white young boy. stereotypically the young boy is rude and does not respect what the Asian man says. As for the Asian man he is stereotypically shown as he does not know how to speak the English language properly.
