요약	Visual framing analysis examines how images — photographs, video stills, infographics — frame an issue by selecting and emphasizing certain aspects of reality, just as verbal frames do. Building on framing theory and the multi-level model articulated by Rodriguez and Dimitrova, it interprets visuals across levels from what is literally depicted to the ideological meanings they carry, recognizing that images frame powerfully and often covertly.	Multimodal content analysis studies how communication makes meaning through the combination of several modes at once — written and spoken language, images, layout, color, gesture, music, and sound. Grounded in the social-semiotic theory of Kress and van Leeuwen, it analyzes each mode by its own meaning-making resources and, crucially, how the modes work together, since modern media messages are rarely text alone.
