Film, Music and Games as Cultural Expressions
Learn to analyse the media you already consume: how camera, sound, editing and interactivity create meaning – a competence aim of its own in English Vg1.

Just enough theory to use it
The curriculum asks you to discuss form, content and devices in cultural expressions from different media – including music, film and games. Film tells stories with tools text does not have: camera work chooses what you see, editing decides the order and pace, sound steers what you feel, and mise-en-scène fills the frame with meaning. Games add something no other medium has: interactivity – you make the choices. Analysing these media uses the same core move as literature: identify a device, describe the moment, explain its effect. The difference is the toolbox.
