Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson and now, Co-Author, Jeff Smith's Film Art has been the best-selling and most widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. Taking a skills-centered approach supported by examples from many periods and countries, the authors help students develop a core set of analytical skills that will enrich their understanding of any film, in any genre. In-depth examples deepen students' appreciation for how creative choices by filmmakers affect what viewers experience and how they respond. Film Art is generously illustrated with more than 1,000 frame enlargements taken directly from completed films, providing concrete illustrations of key concepts. Along with updated examples and expanded coverage of digital filmmaking, the twelfth edition of Film Art delivers SmartBook, first and only adaptive reading experience currently available, designed to help students stay focused, maximize study time and retain basic concepts.

I’ve found ‘Film Art: An Introduction’ a great follow up to the solid and slimmer ‘Film Studies: An Introduction: Teach Yourself’ by Buckland. It digs deeper with clarity and plenty of examples.

Random Thoughts...

Complaints about inexhaustible film references are justified. But, readers with many years of movie experience may find them helpful, as well as, great recommendations.

The less expensive eBook is not the textbook. It does not contain some tools, such as, Connect, that a college course may desire.

Reading the eBook on an iPad worked well me. (Think PDF.)

The book was recommended to me by one of my lecturers at university as an introduction, and it is helpful to understand the overall structure of film (making). The only thing that makes me uncomfortable are the bottom margins, which differ every now and then.
