Description

This book demonstrates how thinking about and writing about film are intricately bound together. It draws on and develops the fact that students write better about a subject they know and like, and that few subjects today are enjoyed and understood more universally than movies. The book walks students through the process of converting the fun and pleasure of watching a movie into the satisfaction of articulating ideas about the movie.
