Writing About Movies by Karen Gocsik (University of California, San Diego)

Writing About Movies offers students two books in one: a handy guide to the process of academic writing and a brief but thorough introduction to the basics of film form, film theory and film analysis. Written by the director of the Warren College Writing Program at University of California, San Diego and the authors of the leading introductory film studies text, Writing About Movies is the only writing guide a student of film will need.
