Today's Task: Create your own revision presentation for the other two key areas of textual analysis: Mise En Scene and Sound.
Present your ideas as a powerpoint document, explaining the terms that are on your Media Terminology Glossary. Try and include examples if you can, but as long as you revise each term that will be fine. Save your presentations for next lesson.
