In media studies, codes are known as a system or collection of signs that create meaning when put together. There are three types of media codes: Symbolic codes, Technical codes, Written Codes 1.

Conventions are closely connected to the audience expectations of a media product. Form conventions are the certain ways we expect types of media codes to be arranged. For instance, an audience expects to have a title of the film at the beginning, and then credits at the end. Newspapers will have the headline or the most important news on the front page and sports news on the back page. Black and gray scale means a flashback will happen. MEDIA CONVENTIONS Story conventions are common narrative structures and understandings that are common in story telling media products. Examples of story conventions include: Character types, plot structures, themes, and settings. Genre conventions point to the common use of images, characters, settings or themes in a particular type of medium. Genre conventions are closely linked with audience expectations. Example: Horror genre, action genre. Media as watchdog MEDIA AS … Media expose the corruption of politicians and investigate different social issues.
