Product Description

Film is an art form with a language and an aesthetic all its own. Since 1979, David Bordwell's and Kristin Thompson's Film Art has been the best-selling and widely respected introduction to the analysis of cinema. While it continues to provide the best introduction to the fundamentals of serious film study, the eighth edition has been revised be more classroom friendly by introducing film techniques earlier in the text, followed by the chapters on Film Genres. Supported by a text-specific Tutorial CD-ROM with video clips, Film Art is automatically packaged with this outstanding student learning tool.

Money back

Review by Johannes, 2010-07-14

I orderd Film Art: An Introduction with Tutorial CD-ROM here at amazon earlier this summer. Tree weeks later, as agread upon, I got the book in the mail. It looked shabby and I did not get the tutorial cd. On the cover it says nothing about a tutorial cd, but the second last page is ripped out. I told the seller that they must have sendt me the wrong book, and a used one. They apologiced and refunded all my expences. Its sad that I didnt get the cd, but I got a book for free and that is good service.

Excellent Product

Review by C. Wilson, 2010-03-14

I need this book for uni and the semester hasn't begun yet so i cannot tell you about the actual book. However, i can tell you this is a fantastic second hand copy which is in great condition. It also contains the learning CD so you should feel very confident buying from this seller.

For Film Buffs!

Review by Batty, 2009-10-09

This book goes through the basics into the intermediate stages of understanding film. The pages are bright and the text is very interesting. I read most of this textbook for fun. The specific reference films are good ones so you won't mind watching them(which I highly suggest anyway). The pacing is great and the topics covered include film art and how to understand what you're watching as well as some technical aspects. I learned quite a bit in the 1st chapter alone - this is what a textbook should be like!

Very confusing and difficult to comprehend

Review by Michael Sanders, 2009-10-07

One of the worst text books I have ever had the displeasure of reading. The text very confusing and often difficult to comprehend. If you are required to read this book for a Film class, I pity you.
