Aesthetics of Film"The chapters include "Film as Audiovisual Representation," "Montage," "Cinema and Narration," "Cinema and Language," and "Film and Its Spectator." With numerous references to specific films and many black-and-white stills, the book will be useful for both beginning film students and advanced scholars who need a summary of the major stages in the development of film theory and aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET. "Beyond its obvious appeal to cinema students, Aesthetics of Film also raises theoretical, critical, and historical issues of interest to everyone working in the larger field of cultural studies. These issues include the ideological dimensions of visual representation, problems in narrative theory, concepts applicable to linguistic and textual analysis, and issues surrounding the audience."--BOOK JACKET. |
