Next blogging task...

You should already have a post about why you choose to study Media Studies and a post with all the various camera shots and angles.

Your next task is to post the notes you made on the theories/concepts that we have looked at these past few weeks. This includes:
Barthes' semiotics (signifier and signified)
Propp's roles of actions (characters)
Freud and Lacan's scopophilia and voyeurism (looking at others to gain sense of identity, pleasure from looking at people)
Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze (objectification of women in film)

If you can evidence your consideration of these theories/concepts during your practical production then you will be showing a high level of understanding of the media.
There are many articles about these theories/concepts to be found on the web and in books.

Goodluck!
