For undergraduate courses in Introduction to Film, Introduction to Cinema, and Film and Drama.

Designed to help students analyze movies with precision and technical sophistication, this book focuses on formalism—how the forms of the film (e.g., camera work, editing, photography, etc.) create meaning. It retains the same principle of organization as its predecessors—structuring chapters around the realism-formalism dichotomy—while it updates each chapter to integrate more recent developments, contemporary films, and personalities in the field.
