Kinoeye TV Drama Glossary of Camera Terms and more
This link goes to a media teacher's blog that has a useful list of cinematography terms with explanations. If you follow the links under the sub-title 'Textual Analysis Hub Links' you will find useful pages on camera shots, movement and framing. There is also a discussion of mise-en-scene which takes the subject to a more academic level and examines how different media theorists have argued about how to define the term 'mise-en-scene.'

Postmodern fighter pilots...
The RAF pilots from the Armstrong and Miller Show can be said to show the postmodern blending of one cultural form with another from the recent past, using the colllision for an ironic and comedic effect. This is perhaps an example of what Jencks calls the 'eclectic mixture of any tradition with that of its immediate past.' In the sketch that appears below, is the modern youth culture of the voices represented more positively or more negatively than the 1940s war film culture? Is this sketch homage or parody?
