4. Framing-
It involves the process of select a particular film shot considering things such as characters, settings, lighting, positioning of a character, iconography and more. Every film made, even CGI animations, involve the director choosing what to be put in the shot and how things will be positioned and any ideologies and messages put through.

5. Genre-
When media products i.e. films are categorized due to there form, style and content. This is related to my study in that I am focusing on the animation genre and how CGI has ensured the genres success whilst using texts e.g. Shrek the Third (2007) as a reference.

6. Intertexuality-
Embedding other media texts into a text. Shrek is particularly noted for its intertexuality in its comedy, for example- Donkey “Worcestershirey? Now that sounds fancy”, Shrek “Its Worchester”, Donkey “Like the sauce, mmm, it’s spicy!”. The Worchester sauce has been used in the film to create comedy. There are many more other examples of Shrek using intertexuality for their comedy.
7. Sequel-
Follows on from a previous film E.g. Shrek, sequel-Shrek 2. ‘Shrek the Third’(2007) is the sequel to Shrek 2 and is the third instalment of the ‘Shrek’ series.
8. Sound Effects-
An effect that imitates a sound and is used in films. CGI films all use sound effects in order to create sound. For example, In Shrek 2 when Puss in Boots is battling with a sword, sound effect of the swords hitting each other is used.

10. Target audience-
