Description

This volume introduces the methods and terminology used in the study of films, with detailed advice on what to look for. It covers the main topics encountered on film courses, including narrative, cinematography, stardom, the auteur, spectatorship, the film industry and much else. Drawing on examples ranging from Stagecoach to Star Wars, it encourages the reader to start actively studying films from the outset and to develop an understanding not only of the text but also of the institutional and social context within which it is situated.
