Product description

Review

'Key Concepts in Cinema Studies by Susan Hayward must be one of the most useful books ever published on the always expanding subject of cinema studies ... Even if you are familiar with many of the terms you may find it valuable to go through all of them as Hayward's perspective is amazingly thought-provoking and educative.' - Film Waves, of the first edition

'An ideal one-stop encyclopedia for students ... an authoritative and - more importantly - a highly accessible work.' - Film Review, of the first edition

'Indispensable book ... a more rounded aide to undergraduate discussion of cinema.' - Sight and Sound, of the first edition

'It is unquestionably both an extensive and valuable resource on all things cinematic.' - M/C Reviews, Australia, of the first edition

'A useful reference resource... Is it a worthwhile resource for a media library? Yes, of course. It will provide essential background for A Level film and media teachers and more able students.' - Media Education Association Newsletter

'Enthusiastically recommended for students of film, anyone seeking a career in the movie industry, and even seasoned professionals looking for an easy-to-use refresher reference.' - Wisconsin Bookwatch

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!

I used this for a class, and it gives great insight into film and provides jargon and everyday use for theory and history of film.

Im not an expert of cinema, but just im very passionated and love to watch and talk about movies. This book is a great enciclopedia of cinema, from styles, to genres, movements, acting, and everything about and concerning cinema sonehow. It is written as a manual, then it is not very fluent to read, but it is not the aim of the book anyway, whoch is born as a reference for cinema studente i guess. In this optic the book seems to me, a profan i repeat, very insightfull and well written.
