Guides to camerawork, photography etc here 

B322: Textual Analysis & Media Studies Topic (Moving Image)

We look at a selection of Action and Adventure clips through the two-year course and prepare for the exam in the summer of the second year, with a full mock in the summer of the first year. The exam will consist of an unseen moving image extract with some questions. There are several viewings during which time you make notes about what you see. We learn the language of moving image and how to identify and explain the impact of
  • mise-en-scene
  • camera angles, camera movement, shot types
  • sound
  • editing 
PREP: Go through the Guides hyperlinked above from the OCR website.
