Teach Yourself Film Studies - a Complete Introduction (Paperback)

Written by Warren Buckland, who is a current Film Studies lecturer and researcher at Oxford Brookes University, Film Studies - The Essentials is designed to give you everything you need to succeed, all in one place. It covers the key areas that students are expected to be confident in, outlining the basics in clear jargon-free English, and then providing added-value features like summaries of key books, and even lists of questions you might be asked in your seminar or exam. The book uses a structure that mirrors many university courses on film - with separate chapters focusing on film aesthetics, film structure, film authorship, film genres, documentary film, and the reception of film.
