Abstract

If our children are to be able to navigate their lives through this multimedia culture, they need to be fluent in “reading” and “writing” the language of images and sounds just as we have always taught them to “read” and “write” the language of printed communications. (Thoman & Jolls, 2005, p. 180) As multimedia becomes more prominent in our culture and schools, it offers the opportunity for challenging and expanding traditional concepts of literacy. This is true not only in reading media texts but also in writing them. There are a number of multimedia authoring tools that deal with various combinations of still and motion, sound and image, and text and graphics. This article will examine the compositional aspects of multimedia through the lens of video.
