Development of skills for the critical analysis of media texts – an important task of film education. However, media literacy practice shows that students have the problems with the discussion / analysis, for example, the difficulties in the process of understanding and interpreting the author’s conception, plot and genre features. This book substantiates the technological approaches to the analysis skills of different genres in film education in the student audience. For example, the main outcome of hermeneutical analysis of the screen genres in film education in a university classroom is not just the audience’s understanding of historical, political, social and cultural contexts and the stereotype formation mechanisms of the epoch, but also the development of the audience’s perception of media culture, analytical and interpretative skills applied to media texts, critical thinking development. This book will be useful for media educators, scholars, teachers, university students, a broad audience interested of film education and media studies.
