Visual Literacy

I feel like video is not so much text, but a different form of composition.  I know that video requires similar characteristics of creating composition like characters and setting.  So, both writing and video are different forms of composition.  In terms of visual literacy, different forms of media allow an audience to create their own interpretations, so visual literacy is a way of interpreting meanings from video media.  As an audience we interpret text and media in different ways, but they both allow an audience to form their own meanings and definitions of ideas.
