According to Syaiful Bahri Djamarah, et al (2013:124) audio-visual
media have sound and image elements. This type of media has a better ability

because it includes two media in delivering information or, in this case,
learning material.
According to Wina Sanjaya (Sanjaya 2008, 2118)(2014: 2118), audio-

visual media is a type of media that, in addition to containing elements of
sound, also includes aspects of images that can be seen, such as examples of

video recordings, films, sound slides, and so on.
Based on some of the expert opinions above, it can be concluded that
audio-visual media is media with sound and image elements that are used

simultaneously and can be used as intermediaries in conveying the content of
messages, information, and teaching materials to achieve learning objectives.

2. Types of Audio-Visual-Based Learning Media
Audio-visual media that can be used in learning are basically divided
into two categories; according to Syaiful Bahri Djamarah (2013: 125) the

division of the two categories are:
a. Silent audio-visual, namely media that convey sound and still images
such as sound slides, sound series films, and good prints.

b. Audio-visual motion, namely media that can display elements of
sound and moving images such as sound films, video cassettes,
television, and the like.

Arief S. Sadiman, et al (Sadiman and S 2010, 67) stated that audio-
visual media can be in the form of:

a. Movie
Film is a medium that can enormously help the learning process.
According to Azhar Arsyad (Arsyad and Azhar 2003, 50), films move

quickly and alternately and provide continuous visuals. The film has its
own charm because it shows vivid images and sound. This type of media

can present information, describe processes, explain complex concepts,
teach skills, shorten or extend time, and influence attitudes.
