The Film Experience offers a comprehensive introduction to the art, language, industry, culture, and experience of the movies -with new digital tools to bring that experience to life and help students master course material. The text highlights how formal elements like cinematography, editing, and sound can be analyzed and interpreted within the context of a film as a whole. With superior tools for reading and writing about film, as well as unparalleled coverage of diversity, inclusion, and non-mainstream filmmaking traditions.
