{"product_id":"film-narratology-peter-verstraten-9780802095053","title":"Film Narratology","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost modern studies of narrative tend to focus predominantly on literature with only some reference to film. In \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter W.J. Verstraten makes film narratives his primary focus, while noting the unexplored and essentially different narrative effects that film can produce with mise-en-sc?ne, cinematography, and editing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReworking the definitive theory of narration offeredby literary scholar Mieke Bal, \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e examines cinematic techniques such as external and internal narration, visual and auditive focalization, the narrative force of sound, and the ambiguities caused by voice-overs and flashbacks. Verstraten illustrates these narrative principles with a broad range of examples drawn from avant-garde cinema, golden age Hollywood, blockbusters, and European art cinema. Insightful and comprehensive, \u003ci\u003eFilm Narratology\u003c\/i\u003e will surely become the standard reference of cinematic narration for film students and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Verstraten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802095054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802095053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Peter Verstraten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46806948217087,"sku":"9780802095053","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1852b5a1-a713-4863-962e-2a7c30eb0139.jpg?v=1745378144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/film-narratology-peter-verstraten-9780802095053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
