"Giannetti's book is invaluable for anyone who wants a deeper appreciation of the movies. Drawing on a lifetime of wisdom, he explains clearly and passionately how the movies work, and why. I have used earlier editions of this classic work for years, recommend it constantly and welcome this latest edition." — Roger Ebert, Ebert & Roeper
Product Description
For undergraduate courses in Introduction to Film, Introduction to Cinema, and Film Appreciation.
Understanding Movies is the best selling film text on the market!
Designed to help students analyze movies with precision and technical sophistication, this book focuses on formalism—how the languages of the film (e.g., camera work, editing, lighting, story, photography, etc.) create meaning. Building on the same principle of organization as previous editions—structuring chapters around the elements of film—the new edition of this best seller offers a lavish use of color, printed on high-quality paper and has been updated to integrate recent films, developments in filmmaking, and personalities in the field. A CD-ROM of interviews with filmmakers is available in a special value package.
