Film Studies by Andrew Butler
This book offers a concise introduction to the appreciation and study of film. It begins with the nuts and bolts, an examination of how films are put together - framing, performance, setting, costume and editing - and then examines a number of approaches taken to film over the last century - the auteur theory, structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism, queer theory and so on. The last three sections offer an overview of genres, national cinemas and film movements around the world.
