Language for the screen: Years 7-8
Film has it's own language that is developed from certain signs and codes that combine to create meaning ultimately to "tell a story". In this topic we analyse these signs and codes, how they make up film language, by looking at the cultural context films are made in and how audience respond. We look at technical and symbolic elements that comprise film so that we can be informed viewers. Once you know the language to use, you can apply these to make your own films.
