Elements of Mise En Scene  Heyyy so today in class we talked about Mise-En-Scene. And learned the importance of Mise-En-Scene and the time that it is used in a film. Mise en scene is  the essence of film making like the arrangement of scenery.  The many different element in Mise-En-Scene were spoken upon which include props, set design, costumes, makeup, color, lighting, blocking, framing, lenses, sound, frame rate,and music. there are 2 different types of mise en scene theatrical and naturalistic; naturalistic mise en scene is made to relate to the real world. while theatrical is made to relate to imagination worlds that cant actually be real. design in a film is the way that the scene looks, blocking relates to the movements of the actors, the way that the film maker arranging objects and framing is the composition these are all important because it allows the audience to be engaged in the film.

 Symbolic codes close reading of Valerian official trailer #1 (2017) Symbolic codes is what is shown in a film to help find the deeper meaning of the film. Symbolic codes are used show a deeper meaning behind and actors actions and it helps the audience to find that meaning from the decoding of theses codes.  Producer may have actors using props or place them in setting to show the symbolic codes. Examples of symbolic codes would be the mise en scene of the film, setting , colors, or the acting within the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_shrCoqWh9k Today in class we were asked to watch the trailer listed above and decode it.

 Today in class we talked about Charles Peirce's theory on semeiotics this is when i figured out that their were many theory of semiotics. Price says that somatic‘s is the relationship between symbols I kind an index. He calls this triadic model of signs because of the three parts. We went through meanings of icon symbols ( The signifier resembles the signified), symbolic signs(no physical relationship between the signifier and the signified where the signified is conventional and cultural specific.),and indexical signs(signs where The signifier is caused by the signified). And my teacher mentioned symbols and how it could be represented by objects in people’s mindful connections. We were asked to create a Graphic organizer explaining what we learned I chose to do Jumanji the plot in this movie was that two siblings (Judy and Peter Shepherd),that moved into a old but new house that was known to be hunted, found a board game from the last family and started playing it.

 Today in media studies it was a light day but we were given a lesson on semiotics again but this time we learned about Saussure's Theory on semiotics. In the lesson we learned that Saussure seen semiotics as semiology. He believed that written and spoken language wasn't the only form of communication through humans, and that signifiers couldn't exist without the signified into a meaningful unit signifiers being the physical form and signified being the meaning gained.  To test or understand our understanding my teacher gave use an assignment where we made an organizer that we separated into 3 columns and 4 rows. In the 3 columns we wrote signs and symbols, signifiers(the physical forms), and signifier ( denotative and connotative). Under sign and symbols in my first of four rows I labeled it Costumes under that colors under that characters, facials expressions, and body language and finally under that the box was labeled props.

  Today in class we talked about Roland Barthes Theory on Semiotics. In the power point on Barthe that was spoken upon throughout the lesson today, my teacher mentioned that Bathes believes that signification was the process and the study of denotation and connotation. He referred to this process as the order of signification. What audience see and hear is denotative and what an audience feels and gain from media is connotative.
