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. This text tackles the "Media and Moving Images" requirements of the new National Curriculum at Key Stage 3. Activities move from looking at a single graphic image or news headline to analyzing much larger media texts. Step-by-step units, featuring a wealth of media materials, show students how language, images and sound are combined to make media texts. 2001
