Updated and expanded for a new edition, this is the perfect starter
text for students of film studies. The book illustrates basic film
concepts in context and in depth. It addresses techniques and
terminology used in film production and criticism, emphasizing
thinking and writing critically and effectively. Organized in three
parts, the text focuses on the fundamentals of film analysis before
moving on to more complex topics. Parts I and II teach students to
recognize how the components of film-narrative, mise en scene,
cinematography, editing and sound-work together to produce meaning
within an individual film text. Part III introduces readers to
interpretive frameworks that treat cinema as a cultural
institution. This section encourages readers to move beyond textual
analysis and consider the relationship between film and culture.
Readers learn to form sophisticated arguments about film in
cultural, historical and economic contexts. "This text is extremely
well-organized and the examples cited are dead-on and
up-to-date....This text makes both contemporary and classical
references, certain to make its point clear to those students who
are beginners and who have not seen many classical films." Walton
Jones, University of California, San Diego
