Since 1979, Film Art by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson has been the best-selling and widely respected introduction to the study of cinema. Using a skills-centered approach, the authors strive to help students develop a core set of analytical tools that will deepen their understanding of any film, in any genre. Film Art is generously illustrated with frame enlargements that enable students to view images taken directly from the completed films. Building on these strengths, the eighth edition has been revised to be even more classroom friendly by introducing film techniques earlier in the text, followed by the chapters on different genres in film. Stressing complete films instead of techniques in isolation, Chapters 2 and 3 introduce the idea of film form, and Chapters 4-8 explain individual techniques and how they contribute to the aesthetic film experience. The Where to Go from Here section at the end of most chapters raises issues and provokes discussion. lt also functions as a bibliographic source for chapterspecific issues and provides simple exercises to help students better comprehend film techniques. Supporting the text, the accompanying tutorial CD-ROM helps clarify and reinforce specific concepts addressed in the text through the use of film clips (1-2 per chapter), a corresponding commentary for each film clip, and a quiz for students to test their understanding of the material. This CD-ROM is packaged FREE with all new copies of the eighth edition of Film Art. More Resources Online Visit the Online Learning Center at for further resources for students and instructors.
