Pedagogic metalanguage

The movie I’d like to analyze today is The Shawshank Redemption. It tells us that hope is a good thing and maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies. Everything will be ok, don’t worry! Now, I will show several images from the movie clips to you to analyze the pedagogic metalanguage for videos.

*Integral features of videos
This movie is a narrative one. And the narrator is third person.
*Representation of Ideas & Interplay of meanings
It explains the light and darkness of human nature, but also reflects the pure friendship
behind the walls. From the movie, I learn the importance of believing in freedom and hope, which give me
a lot of strength.
