Theory Of Representation :

Mediation -> Everything in the media has been mediated, it is only someones construction of reality, not the truth.

This is reflected through the filming process in 3 key stages :

1. Selection : Series of events or film.
2. Organisation : Arangment of shots (Editting)
3. Focusing : Concentrating on one aspect of the material.

This can also be reflected through 3 key areas in which the media is mediated :

The Reflective View  is trying to re-create a replica of a meaning, or, a reflection of reality.

The Intentional View is the view in which the news or media chooses to convey.

The Constructionist View is the view which takes into account audience response to a representation.
