Ed Sikov builds a step-by-step curriculum for the appreciation
of all types of narrative cinema, detailing the essential elements
of film form and systematically training the spectator to be an
active reader and critic. Sikov primes the eye and mind in the
special techniques of film analysis. His description of
mise-en-scene helps readers grasp the significance of montage,
which in turn reveals the importance of a director's use of camera
movement. He treats a number of fundamental factors in filmmaking,
including editing, composition, lighting, the use of color and
sound, and narrative. "Film Studies" works with any screening list
and can be used within courses on film history, film theory, or
popular culture. Straightforward explanations of core critical
concepts, practical advice, and suggested assignments on particular
technical, visual, and aesthetic aspects further anchor the
reader's understanding of the formal language and anatomy of
film.
