Description
Concepts in Film Theory by J. Dudley Andrew provides a comprehensive overview of key film study concepts, including perception, representation, and narrative structure. The book begins with an introductory chapter that sets the stage for its exploration of these concepts, which are interdependent and often overlap. Andrew offers lively explanations of various theories, drawing on fields such as perceptual psychology, structuralism, semiotics, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and genre study. By examining these concepts in depth, readers can gain a richer understanding of film and its place within the broader context of art.
