1. What is Media Studies? | 什么是媒体研究？
Media Studies is the critical analysis of media texts – any product created for an audience, from newspapers and movies to TikToks and podcasts. It explores how these texts are constructed using media language, how they represent the world, and how different audiences respond to them.
媒体研究是对媒体文本的批判性分析——任何为受众创造的产品，从报纸、电影到 TikTok 视频和播客。它探究这些文本如何用媒体语言构建，如何表征世界，以及不同受众如何回应它们。
Think of the word MEDIA itself: M for Messages (what idea is communicated?), E for Entertainment (how does it engage?), D for Document (does it record reality?), I for Influence (how does it shape opinions?), and A for Advertise (does it promote a product or ideology?).
想想 MEDIA 这个词：M 代表信息 (Messages，传达了何种观点？)，E 代表娱乐 (Entertainment，如何吸引人？)，D 代表记录 (Document，它记录现实吗？)，I 代表影响 (Influence，它如何塑造看法？)，A 代表广告 (Advertise，它推销产品还是理念？)。
Quick Memory: Use ‘MEDIA’ as an acronym to explore any text – Messages, Entertainment, Document, Influence, Advertise.
速记：把 ‘MEDIA’ 当作分析任何文本的口诀——信息、娱乐、记录、影响、广告。
2. Media Language: Denotation and Connotation | 媒体语言：明示义与隐含义
Denotation is the literal, dictionary meaning of a sign. For example, a red rose is simply a flower with red petals.
明示义是符号的字面、字典含义。比如，一朵红玫瑰就是一朵有红色花瓣的花。
Connotation goes beyond the literal – it refers to the cultural, emotional, or symbolic meanings we associate with the sign. The red rose connotes love, romance, or political party identity.
隐含义则超越字面——它指我们赋予符号的文化、情感或象征性意义。红玫瑰隐含着爱情、浪漫或政党身份。
Think ‘D for Dictionary, C for Cultural’.
记住“明示查字典，隐含问文化”。
3. Camera Shots and Angles | 镜头景别与角度
Framing and camera distance shape how we see characters and settings. Different shot types communicate power, intimacy, or context. Master these common terms:
取景和镜头距离塑造我们如何看待角色与场景。不同的景别传达权力、亲密感或背景信息。掌握以下常用术语：
| English Shot Type | 中文景别 | Description (EN) | 描述 (中文) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extreme Long Shot (ELS) | 极远景 / 大远景 | Shows a vast landscape; character is tiny, emphasising setting over individual. | 展示广阔场景；人物极小，突出环境而非个人。 |
| Long Shot (LS) | 远景 | Full body visible with some background; places character in context. | 全身可见并带部分背景；将角色置于背景中。 |
| Medium Shot (MS) | 中景 | From waist up; common for dialogue and everyday interaction. | 腰部以上；常用于对话和日常互动。 |
| Close-up (CU) | 特写 | Tightly frames a face or object; reveals emotion or details. | 紧贴脸部或物体；揭示情绪或细节。 |
| Extreme Close-up (ECU) |
