A Short Guide to Writing About Film (The Short Guide Series)
£23.20
Both an introduction to film study and a practical writing guide, this brief text introduces students to film terms and the major film theories to enable them to write more critically. With numerous student and professional examples along the way, this engaging and practical guide progresses from taking notes and writing first drafts to creating polished essays and comprehensive research projects. Moving from movie reviews to theoretical and critical essays, the text demonstrates how an analysis of a film becomes more subtle and rigorous as part of a compositional process.

As a film student this book was on our list of books in the first term, and has proved to be incredably helpful! Even though I studied A-level film and knew a lot by the time I started my Degree, I still struggled when it came to writing essays and this book guides you onto the right path in terms of film anaylising. Now in my second year we are expected to write more sophisticated work, but I still use this book as a guide whenever I’m stuck and can always gain something new from it everytime I use it. Well worth buying if you are a student.

This is an excellent guide to writing about film but also works as an aid to viewing film. It is very well written and easy to read, a novice would have no problem understanding the terms and references.
If you love film with this insight you will love it even more.
It is a useful tool for all types of writing about film and covers different types of writing from the review through to the academic essay.
A must have for anyone interested in writing about or even producing their own films.
