Six Critical Essays on Film
About this book
Six Critical Essays on Film is a clear, succinct guide to studying and understanding feature films as both a medium of communication and artistic expression. Intended for college and adult school students, this book offers a short - but diverse - selection of quality films from the 1920s through 1970s for review and application. The text provides active, workable solutions to break films down into their component parts, evaluate elements that work well, and identify those that miss their mark.
Strategic thinking skills and an outside-the-box approach are encouraged to help students write film essays of their own that stand out boldly from the college crowd.
