Synopsis

READING THE SCREEN provides an introduction i i ll i i i * r to a subject which has developed into a tast- growing area of study in recent years, with cinema and television becoming the focus of more and more literary and artistic work. The intention of this Handbook is to introduce the film viewer to the range of techniques available to the film maker for the transmission of his message, and to analyse the effects achieved by these techniques. It is geared in particular to students beginning a course in film studies but it also has a great deal to offer any member of the film-going public who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the medium.
