Product Description:
Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell's and Kristin Thompson's Film Art has been the best-selling and widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. . . While it continues to provide the best introduction to the fundamentals of serious film study, the eighth edition has been revised be more classroom friendly by introducing film techniques earlier in the text, followed by the chapters on Film Genres. Supported by a text-specific Tutorial CD-ROM with video clips, Film Art is automatically packaged with this outstanding student learning tool..

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent
This book provides wonderful baseline knowledge about process of film making from the fruition of an idea to the completion of a movie and beyond. What makes this book especially wonderful is its excellent array of examples.
Rating:  - Unclear, Expensive, and Redundant
I highly recommend anyone, student or otherwise, to stay away from this book unless you want to spend a lot of money on something that presents only about 15% useful and straightforward information. Also, most of the terms used in this book, while being unnecessary, are simultaneously made up by the authors, particularly because they are rarely or never used in the actual movie business. So again, unless this is a required book for your film class, go buy a seperate book for cinematography, editing, history, sound, or whatever unit you are studying. You'll probably find them to be more critical and explicit. That's my 2 cents. Pz.
