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?
