Product Description

Product Description
Teach Yourself Film Studies is an invaluable reference book for both Film Studies students and film buffs.

It gives a chronological history of cinema and film with an analysis of the different genres of films and directors, from Westerns to Sci-Fi and from Hitchcock to Tarantino. Techniques and effects are fully discussed and explained to give an insight and understanding of this fascinating media.
The book gives an overview of the key areas in film studies which includes aesthetics, narrative, genres and documentary films. It also ends by uncovering the secrets of film reviewing and the conventions reviewers adopt when they write about and evaluate films.

This new edition also includes an expanded section concerning film studies on the internet.

About the Author
Warren Buckland is Associate Professor of Film Studies at Chapman University in Southern California, and former lecturer in Film Studies at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He is co-author of Studying Contemporary American Film: A Guide to Movie Analysis (Arnold, 2002)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to film studies I have seen, 20 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This is the best introduction to film studies and the cinema that I have seen. It covers evrything I wanted to know about in a clear and accessible language. It is sensibly organised, and illustrated with b&w photographs. At this price, I'd recommend it to everyone with more than a passing interest in the cinema.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to the world of film, 13 Dec 2000
By J. A. Griffiths "indiehead" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great 'beginners guide' to the film industry, with notes from Hitchcock's works and background into what it takes to make a movie.
