Customer Reviews

I’ve looked at films from both sides now.

One thing I can say is I enjoy a good film. O.K., if it moves, I’ll watch it. But until I read this book, I was just looking without seeing it. It is nice to have this guide confirm what one knows as common sense. Probably because the guide is designed to take you from ground zero to a level of appreciation and allow you to convey your opinion intelligently. You will want to get every edition; newer editions add different resources and research information. Some of the highlights are: • A shot-by-shot a-n-a-l-y-s-i-s of a sequence from the film “Potemkin” • Suggestions on using the Internet • Sample student writing Some contents vary in edition: Writing about the Movies Preparing to Watch and Preparing to Write Film Terms and Topics Six Approaches to Writing about Film Style and Structure in Writing Researching the Movies M-a-n-u-s-c-r-i-p-t Form This guide is an eye-opener. I am looking at the fourth edition. In case the film is newer, the 10 edition was written on August 9, 2024
