Film: A Critical Introduction - 2nd Edition

Product Description

This book is aimed at general readers and students interested in a comprehensive introduction to film studies. While it covers thoroughly the techniques and terminology used in film production and film criticism, the book emphasizes thinking critically and writing effectively about film. Organized in three parts, the text focuses on the fundamentals of film analysis before moving on to more complex topics.
Parts I and II give readers the tools to enhance their enjoyment and understanding of films by helping them to recognize how the various elements of a film-narrative, mise en scene, cinematography, editing and sound-work together to produce meaning.
