Description
Beginning Film Studies offers an accessible introduction to this vibrant subject. Andrew Dix's book ranges across key topics and approaches to film studies, with new case studies, overviews of recent developments, and suggestions for further reading.
The book begins by examining film's formal features before moving on to narrative, genre, authorship, stardom, and ideology. It also assesses the discipline's geographical 'turn' in relation to film industries and consumption. Case studies cover a range of topics, including sound in The Great Gatsby and narrative in Inception.
Interactive throughout, Beginning Film Studies enables readers to reflect critically upon the field, making it an ideal resource for those looking to engage with film studies.
