Readers,
Finding good sources of reference for Media Studies on the internet isn't as hard as you think, but if you are starting out and have never looked any of this up it is a little daunting. So I thought I would post and explain some very good and helpful websites in this subject.
This is a link for a
brilliant site explaining about the different language used in the
media. This covers all the different shot angles all the way to the key
terms that you must understand and use in your course work and end
exams. http://www.alevelmedia.co.uk/page26.php
This
blog is especially for media study students, it is published by a
teacher of the subject at a large school. The publisher is very
insightful into what we as the students need to know and learn. http://mrsblacksmedia2.wordpress.com
This is the best website for explaining everything there is to know about media studies. The university of Yale are known to be one of the best universities in America. This site explains all the terms and definitions very well.

This website is called "Pearl & Dean" it specialises in explaining to the general public how and why films do what they do to sell as many tickets as possible. This also shows you what age range and gender go to different genres of films. Eg. family films are directed at a house wife and children aged 7-14. Research shows that most children this age are girls who go to the cinema instead of boys.

I will keep updating this post with new URLs that explain Media as simply as possible.
