1. Media Language Basics | 媒体语言基础
Denotation: literal, dictionary meaning of a sign. A red rose denotes a type of flower. Memory trick: "Denotation = Dictionary."
外延：符号的直接、字典意义。红玫瑰的外延是一种花卉。记忆法："外延即字典含义"。
Connotation: ural or emotional meanings attached to a sign. A red rose connotes love or romance. Trick: "Connotation = Cultural."
内涵：符号所附带的文化或情感含义。红玫瑰内涵代表爱情或浪漫。记忆法："内涵即文化联想"。
Sign, Signifier, Signified (Saussure): a sign is the whole unit (word/image + meaning). The signifier is the physical form (sound, written word, image); the signified is the mental concept. For a tree, the word "tree" is the signifier; the idea of a tree is the signified.
符号、能指、所指（索绪尔）：符号是整体（词语/图像+意义）。能指是物理形式（声音、文字、图像）；所指是心智概念。以树为例："tree" 这个词是能指；树的概念是所指。
Anchorage (Barthes): text that directs the viewer towards a preferred reading of an image, limiting polysemy. A caption "fresh and natural" on a juice advert anchors the meaning of the fruit image.
锚定（巴特）：将观众引向图像优先解读的文字，限制多义性。果汁广告上的文案 "新鲜自然" 锚定了水果图像的意义。
Preferred, Negotiated, Oppositional Readings (Hall): the preferred reading is the meaning intended by the producer; the negotiated reading partly accepts but modifies it; the oppositional reading rejects the intended meaning. Remember PNO.
优先式、协商式、对抗式解读（霍尔）：优先式解读是制作者意图的意义；协商式解读部分接受但进行修改；对抗式解读拒绝原意。记住 PNO。
P = Preferred · N = Negotiated · O = Oppositional
2. Camera Shots | 镜头景别
Extreme Close-Up (ECU): small detail, such as an eye or a key. It creates intensity and focuses attention. Memory: "ECU = Extreme Close-Up."
极端特写（ECU）：展示极小细节，如眼睛或钥匙。用于营造紧张感并聚焦注意力。记忆法："ECU 即极端特写"。
Close-Up (CU) and Medium Close-Up (MCU): CU frames the face or head and shoulders to show emotion; MCU frames from the chest up, often used for dialogue and reaction.
特写（CU）与中特写（MCU）：CU 取景面部或头肩，用于表现情绪；MCU 取景胸部以上，常用于对话和反应镜头。
Mid-Shot (MS), Long Shot (LS) and Extreme Long Shot (ELS): MS frames the body from the waist up; LS shows the full body and some setting; ELS shows landscape and scale, making people look small.
中景（MS）、远景（LS）与极远景（ELS）：MS 取景腰部以上；LS 展示全身和部分环境；ELS 展示景观与规模，让人物显得渺小。
Establishing Shot and Two-Shot: an establishing shot sets location and context; a two-shot frames two people together to suggest relationship or conflict.
建立镜头与双人镜头：建立镜头交代地点和背景；双人镜头将两人同框，暗示关系或冲突。
Over-the-Shoulder (OTS), Point-of-View (POV) and Insert Shot: OTS looks past one person to another; POV shows what a character sees; an insert shot cuts in a detail, such as a phone message.
过肩镜头（OTS）、主观镜头（POV）与插入镜头：OTS 越过一人看向另一人；POV 展示角色所见；插入镜头切入细节，如手机信息。
3. Camera Angles and Movement | 镜头角度与运动
High Angle, Low Angle and Eye-Level: a high angle looks down and can make a subject seem weak or vulnerable; a low angle looks up and can make a subject seem powerful; eye-level is neutral and realistic.
高角度、低角度与平视：高角度俯拍可使主体显得弱小或脆弱；低角度仰拍可使主体显得强大；平视则中性、真实。
