A Short Guide to Writing About Film by Timothy Corrigan
Both an introduction to film study and a practical writing guide, this brief text introduces students to film terms and the major film theories to enable them to write more critically. With numerous student and professional examples along the way, this engaging and practical guide progresses from taking notes and writing first drafts to creating polished essays and comprehensive research projects. Moving from movie reviews to theoretical and critical essays, the text demonstrates how an analysis of a film becomes more subtle and rigorous as part of a compositional process.TIMOTHY CORRIGAN is a University of Pennsylvania professor of cinema studies, English, and art history. His writings include New German Film: The Displaced Image, Werner Herzog's Films: Between Mirage and History, Writing About Film, A Cinema Without Walls: Pictures and Culture After Vietnam, Film and Literature: An Introduction and Reader, and The Film Experience, in addition to a number of pieces on Hazlitt, Keats, and De Quincey.
