 RECAP

We have learned that there are ways to understand the text we are
reading. One way of doing so is through the graphics, pictures, sounds, or
videos, supporting the words we read. There are different kinds of visual and
multimedia elements which can help us understand it better.

LESSON

Reading is more fun when there are colors, graphics, and designs. It
contributes to the reader’s understanding by widening their imagination as
they read. These are visual and multimedia elements.

Visual elements help convert a simple reading text to an adventurous

tale where readers can “see” or visualize the story. Pictures, drawings, comics
and cartoons, and diagrams are examples of visual elements.

Aside from visual elements, we also have multimedia elements.

Multimedia elements help the reader understand the text in a whole new level
since it uses sight, sound, and other senses to experience what they’re reading
first hand. It also uses a variety of combination with its medium. It can be
used in a digital form through computers, audio layers, tablets, smartphones,
and other technology.

Multimedia elements include video, audio recordings and sound effects,

interactive images where readers may click the images or words to learn more
information about them, including how the word sounds, its definition, and
important facts.

Visual and Multimedia elements can help the readers in many ways.
Let us see the ways it can do so.

1. Clarifying the Meaning of a text – visual elements can guide the

readers in understanding the vocabulary being used in the text.

One example is the term, “Bakunawa” which we can hear in the

folktales of our grandparents. According to the text, it is a monstrous

7
 dragon which appears during full moon to eat the moon causing a
lunar eclipse. A picture that supports the text read can help in
making the description more vivid. Take a look at this.

Once upon a time, there were lots of moons in the sky. However, a giant
sea serpent named “Bakunawa” tried to eat them all leaving only one
moon that we see today.

A video presentation can also clarify the meaning of the text by

letting us see the facial expressions and body language of the
characters used in the text. It can also help us understand the
sequence of events in the text and help us properly visualize what
happened in a certain situation.

An example is the video representation of the movie, “Anak”(2000)

made by Star Cinema.

https://data-starcinema.abs-cbn.com/starcinema/starcinema/media/june-2019/03/anak-
supercut-820.jpg?ext=.jpg

This clearly show us how great a mother’s love is for her child.
Videos also help us relate and connect the sequence of the story.

8
 Audio recordings of characters’ voices in multimedia can clarify the
meaning of a character’s words.
Just by hearing how the lines are delivered, you can tell how the
character feels. The tone of voice by the narration also gives off the
overall aura or theme of the text read. Horror movies are often
narrated with a deep mysterious voice which is a completer opposite
of a perky, high-pitched tone you can hear when hearing a comedy
story.
2. Communicating Tone – visual and multimedia elements reflect the
writer’s attitude towards the text. The writer’s tone gives a hint of
how the story is all about. The narration of the story varies
depending how the writer wants to portray it. It could be happy, sad,
serious, comical, angry, etc.
There are different ways to let the readers know the tone of the
text. For visual elements, pictures with light background often
represents comical, happy, and light stories. However, dark
background with fuzzy images gives off the mysterious tone for
serious, sad, or horror stories.
These images clearly compare them.

Audio recordings also sets the tone of the story. You may have
probably experienced having goosebumps while listening to a
narrator’s voice while entering an unknown open gate inside the
forest.

3. Enhancing Imagery – writers use narration to effectively describe

the scenery of the story. Imagery is the language used by writers to
properly describe a certain scene, appearance, or things which you
can imagine based on the description. Visual and multimedia
elements are really helpful since it is letting us see and somewhat
experience what the author is describing in his story. It reinforces
imagery.

9
 Let us go back to how the Bakunawa is being described. The
author describes it to be a giant serpent, with a big mouth, it has
whiskers, and it can eat the moon. This description is enough for us
to imagine how enormous this creature is. Through the help of visual
elements such as drawing, or graphics, we can clearly see Bakunawa
coming to life from the text.

We can also imagine the bapor tabo described by Jose Rizal in

his famous novel called, “El Filibusterismo”.
