Opis

This fully revised second edition textbook is especially designed to introduce undergraduate students to the most important qualitative methodologies used to study film and television.

Recenzje

"This revised edition adds new material and emphasis on television and streaming shows but remains a solid and impressive introduction and compendium of critical and theoretical concepts for analyzing films, television, and assorted media forms. The text contains a remarkable number of conceptual frameworks and history of those frameworks and methods, and all in a highly readable form. The book’s key strength is its modeling of ideas and examples of analysis with openness and nuance. It remains easily scalable and adaptable to a variety of introductory and intermediate courses in film/media criticism."

Rick Worland, Southern Methodist University
