Film Art: An Introduction

Film Art: An Introduction

Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, <b>David Bordwell</b> and <b>Kristin Thompson's</b> <i>Film Art</i> has been the best-selling and most widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. Taking a skills-centered approach supported by examples from many periods and countries, the authors help students develop a core set of analytical skills that will enrich their understanding of any film, in any genre. In-depth examples deepen students' appreciation for how creative choices by filmmakers affect what viewers experience and how they respond.
