This comprehensive introduction to film text focuses on three
topics: how movies express meanings, how viewers understand those
meanings, and how cinema functions globally as both an art and a
business. Using clear, accessible, and jargon-free writing, this is
the only introductory film text to examine the elements of film
style and the viewer's contribution to the cinema experience. How
do viewers interpret the effects filmmakers create? How do
filmmakers anticipate, and build on, the likely ways viewers will
react to certain kinds of stories and audio-visual designs? The
text examines both how filmmakers create images and sounds and the
mechanisms and processes by which viewers make sense of images and
stories on screen. This approach helps students understand not only
the basic concepts but also how their own reactions and opinions
impact the overall film experience."
