Abstract
Focusing on lighting, camera angles, and framing in a film version of Moby-Dick, high school teacher Valerie Muller discusses Dark Romanticism, archetypal theory, and deconstruction. Since multimedia texts are so prevalent in students’ lives, learning to read film as a distinct art form may help students better understand complicated literary theories.
