 FILM REPRESENTATIONS A variety of methods can be used by filmmakers to introduce and develop characters. They represent a character through their choice of camera angles, acting, mise-en-scene, editing, lighting, and sound.

However, the Edison Company successfully unveiled a Kinetoscope prototype in 1891, allowing one person to watch moving images at once. In the beginning, movies were frequently only a few minutes or less long. They were shown in music halls, fairgrounds, and other locations where a screen could be set up and a room could be made dark. Local sceneries and activities, views of other countries, quick comedies, and noteworthy events were among the topics covered. There were lectures, music, and lots of audience interaction to go along with the movies. They were not "silent," as is commonly said, despite not having synchronised dialogue. FILM INDUSTRY'S GROWTH Several national film industries had been established by 1914. The industries at this time were dominated by Europe, Russia, and Scandinavia; America was far less significant.

 Media studies is the study of numerous media platforms, including textual analysis of diverse media texts and examination of how various groups are portrayed in the media. The following are the main ideas in AS Level Media Studies: Language: The ways in which the media convey meaning through their forms, codes, norms, and procedures. • Representation: How ideas, people, and groups are portrayed in the media as part of how the social reality is constructed. • The media text production, distribution, and circulation process in the industry. • Audience: How media texts are created for and speak to certain audiences, as well as how audiences interpret and react to media text

 In media studies, we examine a variety of media and how they are made, from books to movies. Our course is divided into two sections: one covers media content and context, and the other covers factual information about institutions and viewers. We will be working on a cinematic film opening scene this year to experience film shooting.
