Written accessibly and with verve, it ranges across the key topics and manifold approaches to film studies. Andrew Dix has thoroughly updated the first edition, and this new volume includes new case studies, overviews of recent developments in the discipline, and up-to-the-minute suggestions for further reading. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins by considering some of film's formal features - mise-en-sc鈩e, editing and sound - before moving outwards to narrative, genre, authorship, stardom and ideology. Later chapters on film industries and on film consumption - where and how we watch movies - assess the discipline's recent geographical 'turn'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book references many film cultures, including Hollywood, Bollywood and contemporary Hong Kong. Case studies cover such topics as sound in The Great Gatsby and narrative in Inception. The superhero movie is studied; so too is Jennifer Lawrence. Beginning film studies is also interactive, with readers enabled throughout to reflect critically upon the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Dix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784991384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784991388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Andrew Dix","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070995755263,"sku":"9781784991388","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1521c050-2db7-4fd5-a491-859a000b3e57.jpg?v=1685433543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beginning-film-studies-andrew-dix-9781784991388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
