About the Author
PATRICK PHILLIPS
From the Back Cover
This introductory title aims to make ideas and procedures in film studies more accessible. The title is organised around story, character and spectacle. Each chapter makes references to two films, contemporary and diverse. The author also uses study of specific sequences of film. Throughout the emphasis is placed on how meaning is made in the interaction between film 'text' and spectator. The close study of specific film text is also used as the basis for opening up broader issues and ideas in film studies.
