- Abstract
- This book serves as a guide for high school English teachers to understand and teach visual literacy through film. It explains key filmmaking techniques such as composition, lighting, editing, sound, and rhythm, and examines how films shape audience responses. The book also provides practical classroom strategies, activities, and exercises for integrating visual literacy into English education. By combining film analysis with teaching methods, it promotes critical viewing skills and a deeper understanding of cinema as a form of communication and artistic expression.
