Film studies is a course that is often articulated in highly technical or complex critical vocabulary. This is an A-Z of the key critical terms, designed to make film texts and analysis more accessible to the student. A one-stop-shop that introduces students to the field and provides an essential guide to key terms and concepts. Ideal summer reading for students before their degree course and an essential reference to keep to hand throughout the degree program. This new edition includes updated and expanded material on digital cinema studies and more contemporary and international film examples throughout the book, especially from contemporary Asian cinema.
