I was taught to believe that Mis-en-scene meant what was in the foreground and background on the screen. Make sure you get a couple of theorists in; from what I remember Denis McQuail's uses and characteristics theory was very important when talking about audience.

The hyperdermic needle theory suggests that we are passive to the media. As the name suggests, the media and it's ideologies are simply injected into our brain like a needle.
The opposing theory to this is called the "Uses and gratifications" theory. It suggests that we are active to the media and that we use it for our own uses (EG conversation material) and gratifications (For fun and entertainment)

RE: Media terminology for AS
these are the ones i know (cheryl)-
paradigmatic elements/ codes and conventions- items that are used at construction to make a complete product
syntagm- the completed product (such as a completed magazine or dvd cover
bricolage- a combo of genres, e.g. action and romance, or romance and comedy
in-house style- a company of organisation way of communication with a consistent layout
enigma- exciting (a engimatic character, like Sylar in heroes)
direct mode of address- when a character looks straight at the camera (at the audience, indirect mode of address is the opposite)

i was taught that mise en scene is the feeling that the audience gets from the scene, like the grey filter and low key artificial lighting gives the scene an eerie mise en scene? :L

i'm doing the OCR A2 next Monday,
- I've done a bit about Bulmer and Katz (1974)
which is about why people choose a text
1) as a form of escapism
2) to explore personal relationships
And stuff about Roland Barthes Semiotics...
But I was wondering if anyone had a guess at what the collective identity question will be about?
