Product Description

Review

"A text that so frequently prods students into closely examining the nature and reasons for their own reactions to films merits a wider audience."--Times Educational Supplement

Product Description

This introductory title aims to make ideas and procedures in film studies more accessible. The title is organized around story, character and spectacle. Each chapter makes references to two films, contemporary and diverse. The author also uses study of specific sequences of film. Throughout the emphasis is placed on how meaning is made in the interaction between film "text" and spectator. The close study of specific film text is also used as the basis for opening up broader issues and ideas in film studies.
