Multimodality is a theory of communication that puts together multiple modes and puts them into one. Movies are an example of this because they are very fast images that are combine with audio to relay a message. Modes are resources for making meaning, they also give us a different way to communicate and makes spoken language a less essential source for communication. All different senses are modes. The way that Kress interprets the idea of Multimodality is that we should layout the different modes based on how informative they are. Which, is interesting because Wysocki actually agrees with Kress view and he even expands upon them further. The only noticable difference between Wysockis' view on multimodality and Kress view is that Wysocki focuses more on space than Kress does.
