Action Code - This media dictionary word is very useful as the actual definition relates to the narrative structure of Apocalypto therefore, it can be used in my independent study.

Adventure Film - Adventure Film is a genre that Apocalypto uses as Jaguar Paw's village is kidnap and taken far away from home and he has to come back to save his family making him fight through many exciting challenges. From this it is seen that there is a clear link and the media dictionary word can be used in my independent study.

Disequilibrium - Disequilibrium is also included in Apocalypto as the villagers are kidnapped therefore, it can be used in the independent study.

Ellipsis - Ellipsis can be used in my independent study as in Apocalypto there are certain elements which of a normal action narrative structure that have been taken out to speed up the action.

Equilibrium - This media dictionary word can be used in my independent study as the start of the movie sees the village as a peaceful and harmonious village which then are disrupted by the Myrad Kingdom.

Hybrid - Hybrid genre links to my independent study movie, Apocalypto as Apocalypto is a cross between Action, Drama and Adventure.

Patriarchy - Another key word which can be included in my independent study as there are many scenes where the male are dominating the women which brings up the ideology of a patriarchal society.
