Summary

This text tackles the Media and Moving Images requirements of the new National Curriculum at Key Stage 3. The book lays the ground rules for analysis of the key media codes of Written Language, Graphic Images, Film, and Sound, in separate easy-to-use sections. Step-by-step units, featuring a wealth of media materials, show students how language, images and sound are combined to make media texts. Activities move from looking at a single graphic image or news headline to analyzing much larger media texts.
