textual analysis

textual analysis of breaking down a text into its various elements and studing them to analyse how the meaning is created. When analysing moving image media (such as film or television) we must examine the following areas:
-Camera work(shots,angles,movements)
-Editing (how shots have been put together)
-Sound (both digetic and non-degtic)
-Special effects(if there are any)
-Mise-en-scene(costume,make-up,facical expressions,props, settings,performance)
