Description
Understanding Film Theory by Ruth Doughty and Christine Etherington-Wright provides an accessible introduction to film theory, making it an ideal starting point for students studying film. This comprehensive textbook explores the main areas of debate in film studies, using clear definitions and explanations to simplify complex ideas. The book's 16 chapters cover a range of topics, including contemporary case studies of popular films such as The Hunger Games, Blue is the Warmest Colour, and The Lego Movie. It also delves into genre-based analysis, actor-based study, and the relevance of film theory to practical film degrees. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in film, cinema, media, and cultural studies, this edition features an expanded introduction, new chapters on adaptation and contemporary case studies, and additional genre- and actor-based analyses.
