Description
Updated throughout to reflect the latest developments in film theory, this second edition of Film Theory: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the key theorists, concepts, and debates that have shaped our understanding of moving images.
The book explores how film theory has evolved over time, from its emergence in the early twentieth century to its study today, and examines why film has drawn special attention as a medium, form of representation, and focal point in modern visual culture.
With new theoretical directions at the forefront of film studies discussed in detail, this book is an invaluable resource for those new to film theory and anyone interested in understanding critical thinking in relation to the moving image. The book includes questions for discussion and a glossary of key terms and theorists.
