DESCRIPTION
A moving image is a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement. Examples include motion pictures, videos, and other theatrical releases, short films, news footage (including television newscasts and theatrical newsreels), documentaries, trailers, out-takes, commercials, home movies, fan videos, television broadcasts, and unedited footage. The term 'moving image education' refers to learning and teaching practices which develop moving image & sound media literacy. These practices involve analyzing moving image texts, exploring, appreciating, creating and sharing them, and being discerning about them. This is neatly expressed in the widely accepted '3Cs' of media literacy: the cultural, the critical and the creative.
