In a revised edition of this work, now a standard text, John Ellis
combines an examination of the cinema and television industries
with a detailed analysis of their aesthetic and semiotic
characteristics. He uses new developments in theory of narrative
and the place of the spectator to re-explore his definition of
cinema and broadcast TV as interdependent rather than
interchangeable cultural forms, with their own distinct social
roles. Ellis draws on his own experience to examine subtle
negotiations taking place in the relationship between viewer,
programme and programme-maker in the face of satellite television
and multiple channels. In a new chapter, he discusses the "meaning
routines" fundamental to television broadcasting in TV news and
soaps, and explores the legacy of the home video boom of the 1980s
and the replacement of the drive-in with the "stay-in". Considering
whether, as its cultural importance diminishes, television is now
about to experience a kind of liberation, he expresses his notion
of an unfolding and unpredictable revolution in broadcasting. This
book should be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates in
media, film and cultural studies.
