The Art of Watching Films ISE

Informed by the belief that making films is an art-and that watching films is also an art. With an emphasis on the narrative film, it challenges students to take their film experience further by sharpening their powers of observation, developing the skills and habits of perceptive watching, and discovering complex aspects of film art that they might otherwise overlook. This new edition presents an organised framework that can be applied to all movies.
