Understanding Movies, Eighth Edition

This used paperback textbook is in acceptable condition. This textbook has obvious wear. May have some damage to the cover but integrity still intact. The binding may be slightly damaged but integrity is still intact. There is quite a bit of writing in the margins, alot of underlining and highlighting of text, but no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text.

Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Film, Film and Drama, and Film and Literature, Understanding Movies is designed to help students analyze movies with precision and technical sophistication. It focuses on formalism—how the forms of the film (e.g., camera work, editing, photography, etc.) create meaning. The Eighth Edition retains the same principle of organization as its predecessors—structuring chapters around the realism-formalism dichotomy—while it updates each chapter to integrate more recent developments, films, and personalities in the field.
