More DescriptionSenior English Courses across Australia and in other parts of the world are increasingly focused on how meaning is achieved in texts, that is, the point of view presented by various creators of texts and the techniques they use to convey the ideas expressed. More and more, students are being asked to reflect on the values, beliefs and cultural patterns of the reader or viewer. They are also asked to reflect on the context in which the text was created as well as relate such context to the modern environment. When students have a clear framework or formula to apply, they are more able to deconstruct texts.Film and Image Analysis now forms a significant part of Senior English courses. This book defines key techniques and examines the importance of all elements of film including the construction of images, sound track and particular types of film shots. Teacher, student and industry examples have been used to assist students understanding of how meaning has been shaped.
