Description.
A remarkable continuation of Dudley Andrew's classic, The Major Film Theories, this work focuses on the key concepts in film study: perception, representation, signification, narrative structure, adaptation, evaluation, identification, figuration, and interpretation.
Like language itself, cinema is a surrounding and enveloping substance that carries with it what it means to be human in a specific time and place.
That is to say, it mediates our experience of the world, helps us make sense of things, and in doing so, often helps shape the world itself.
One way to make the path a little easier is by getting a degree in film, since movie production majors gain valuable insight into just what goes into movie magic.
A film degree can also help you make important industry connections and build your portfolio.
