Wacky Media Songs: Reading Images

Have students view the video in the student chapter Wacky Media Songs: Reading Images or show it in fullscreen.

Before the video, ask: Think about some of the best scenes in your favourite movies.

What makes you remember them?

What makes them exciting, or funny, or dramatic?

After the video, ask: Did some of the movie scenes you thought of use the things Ava was talking about, like close-ups, camera angles, and light and colour?

Do other media, like comics or video games, use some of the same techniques?

What other techniques do they use to do the same thing?
