Understanding Movies Value Package

Review

"Giannetti's book is invaluable for anyone who wants a deeper appreciation of the movies. Drawing on a lifetime of wisdom, he explains clearly and passionately how the movies work, and why. I have used earlier editions of this classic work for years, recommend it constantly and welcome this latest edition." — Roger Ebert, Ebert & Roeper

Product Description
Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Film, Film and Drama, and Film and Literature. Understanding Movies is designed to help Canadian students analyze movies with precision and technical sophistication. Its focus is on formalism-how the forms of the film (e.g., camera work, editing, photography, etc.) create meaning in a film. The second Canadian edition updates each chapter with Canadian films and personalities familiar to Canadian students. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
