After lesson break we went over a few more keywords for Media Studies, these keyword were as follows:

Enigma Codes- Makes the audience wonder and ask a question (looking at 'Memento' it makes the audience wonder why the photograph is turning white).
Binary Opposition- Means the two opposites in a film (good and evil).
Diegesis-  The internal world created by the story that the character themselves experience and encounter (Hogwarts to Harry Potter is a home).
Unrestricted Narration- A narrative which has no limits to the information presented (news bulletins).
Restricted Narrative- Only offers minimal information regarding the narrative (thriller films).
Equilibrium- The balance of life in the film (people living normal lives).
