Opis

The Photoplay: A Psychological Study' is a non-fiction book written by Hugo Münsterberg. It is considered a pioneering work in film theory, as it delves into the psychological aspects of the medium. Münsterberg believed that film has a distinct language that mirrors the workings of the mind, such as using close-ups to convey full-attention and flashbacks to evoke memories. His theories provide a unique perspective on the perception and appreciation of film as art at the turn of the century.
