REBUS
A puzzle in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and individual letters; for instance, apex might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by the letter X.
- The New Oxford English Dictionary
We see films as combinations of images, sounds, and WORDS that convey greater meaning.
