Film, Form, and Culture DVD-ROM (0072953934)
Unique to this book from its beginning was an interactive CD-ROM in which clips from films are analyzed closely, more closely than can be imagined through the still images common to most film texts. That CD has now been redesigned and enlarged into an interactive Film, Form, and Culture DVD-ROM. Segments from more recent films have been added, and additional examples
provided. Through moving images interactively designed with explanatory text, stills, and animations, students will become intimately familiar with the basic elements of editing, montage, shot structure, point of view, mise-en-scène, lighting, camera movement, film sound and music, and aspects of genre, focusing on film noir. The FFC DVD-ROM can be used alone or easily used in conjunction with the text.
Film, Form, and Culture remains a unique introduction to film for students in a variety of courses. It is one of the few that discusses not only the basic issues of film construction, but the way film is constructed for and by the culture in which it is made. It considers film as part of the world it inhabits. It is the first introductory text with a fully interactive FFC DVD-ROM. I hope it will remain a good reading (and viewing) experience for both instructors and students.
