Recenzii
This exploratory reading is notably succinct, informative and moreover, digestible from a beginner's perspective.
I like the idea of having a text for this class that isn't just about the technical aspects of what a camera is and how to use it; and I really appreciate the easy to read layout and and small bites of information.
An excellent book - relevant and interesting. Written in a clear manner. The case studies make the reading more enjoyable. Great style, clear format - very well presented.
An extremely enjoyable and engaging read ... For novice film-makers complex theory is made accessible in bite-sized pieces, supported by interesting case studies and 'asides' of film fact/history.
This book provides the perfect blend between linguistic theory and visual entertainment. With its multitude of examples this edition presents core aspects of film analysis in an engaging and fun way.
A good basic text, covering simple theoretical aspects of film in relation to practice. Used in classes and on reading list for the first project in Year 1. Useful as introduction to the relationship between theory and practice.
Tastefully done, and well illustrated to highlight the points it makes ... a healthy guide to students looking for an introduction to the art of film.
Very good text and one of the best I have read on this subject.
An excellent book, brilliant resource, perfect layout.
