ABSTRACT
The use of cinematography in teaching history is an effective method that enables a deeper understanding of historical events and figures. Films provide an exceptional opportunity to bring historical events to life and to develop students’ cultural and emotional sensitivity. This paper examines the benefits and possibilities offered by the use of cinematography in historical education, including the portrayal of historical events through film, the analysis of inaccuracies and artistic liberties that may appear in them, as well as the practices and activities that can be carried out after watching a film. The use of films as an educational tool helps develop students’ analytical and critical skills and enhances the understanding of the emotions and motivations of historical figures. Furthermore, films help teachers create a more engaging and rich learning environment, encouraging in-depth discussions and providing opportunities for the development of critical and reflective skills in students. Cinematography, as a teaching tool, has the potential to change the way we view and understand history, offering opportunities for a more dynamic and engaging learning experience.
Keywords: cinematography, teaching, history, learning activities, film analysis.
