In a world, in which camcorders and CCTV are witness to our every
move and Big Brother and The Blair Witch Project are phenomenally
popular and widely imitated, the divide between reality and liction
has become increasingly blurred. Understanding Realism aims to
explain and make accessible a concept central to the understanding
of film and television studies. It is the second in a series of
short orientation texts geared to the formal study of the moving
image. Using a selection of the critical approaches, Understanding
Realism examines the complex relationship between the moving image
and appearance and reality. Deploying the films One Fine Day and
Clerks as major case studies. Richard Armstrong's indepth treatment
considers in turn the roles that narrative, genre, audience and
ideolgy play in relation to realism in mainstream Hollywood and US
independent film. He also discusses how it is possible to reconcile
the Impression that what is being watched is reality with the
knowledge that it is not. This introductory book written by an
experienced film studies tutor, provides an accessible overview of
a concept key to the understanding of contemporary media.
