DO THIS ESSAYY!!!! analyse one of your media coursework productions in relation to media language

bring in a theory
analyse how you have applied that theory to your coursework production using specific examples
explain how this will impact on the macro
if applicable draw in an example from real media texts

Throughout my coursework productions in media studies I feel that my teaser trailer is the strongest production that I have created in relation to media language.

non-linear  (If you don't work in the film industry, terms like "non-linear editing" might sound foreign to you. To understand what non-linear editing is, first you need to know what linear editing is. Linear editing is when a film project is put together in an ordered fashion, from beginning to end. It's typically used when working with videotape, because digital video can't be cut and spliced. Non-linear editing means that a project can be altered and arranged in any order, much like you cut and paste within a document in a computer word processing program [source:Loehr].
Film editing traditionally was non-linear, because pieces of film could be cut and spliced into whatever order an editor chose, which was a slow and painstaking process. Today's non-linear editing world is a digital one, with all images digitized and manipulated with computers. Non-linear editing on computers first began with systems like AVID in the early 1990s, and now film and video material can be organized onto a timeline, where the editor can add transitions, effects and audio, then transfer the edited version to a tape, a DVD or the Internet [source:DiGregorio].
Today's non-linear timeline technology is especially useful in a process called a "split-edit." A split-edit is the process of combining A-roll and B-roll video. A-roll video is the main raw video footage you shoot of an event, such as a person talking on screen. B-roll video is just about any kind of additional video footage that you may want to add that gives additional meaning or context, like a zoom or close-up. A split-edit involves cutting a clip of B-roll footage into your main A-roll video to add emphasis [source: Collins]. This is a common technique used in documentary films. For example, an A-roll might show a naturalist walking through the woods talking about flowers, and a B-roll showing a close-up of a certain flower might be split-edited in without the audio being interrupted.
