Kolker, Robert Phillip,

Film, form, and culture / Robert Kolker. - 4th edition. - 370 pages : illustrations (colour)

Originally published: London: McGraw-Hill, 2006.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This volume offers a lively introduction to both the formal and cultural aspects of film. With extensive analysis of films past and present, this textbook explores film from part to whole; from the smallest unit of the shot to the way shots are edited together to create narrative. It then examines those narratives (both fiction and non-fiction) as stories and genres that speak to the culture of their time and our perceptions of them today.
