The Anatomy of Film

It was used for a college film appreciation class. It got me interested in some good old films I might not have ever seen otherwise.

Great book, good condition, but the one pictured here is not the one I received. I did receive the sixth edition but it is a blue book, not a black one. It all worked out for the best though because it turned out, my teacher didn't have a preferred edition and my book matched his perfectly.

This product is used for my Movie class. It provides sufficient information about each genre of film, the insight knowledge about filmmaking. You gonnna experience from the Western movies to current movies. Enjoy and keep reading it

This book is great! The terms that are most important are bolded and the language is very easy to understand for people who aren't movie scholars, like me!

Succinct and well-written, this book will serve well as a textbook for a film studies class or as a casual read for the film buff wantint to know more about the art.

was in great condition

If you're looking for an "Intro to Film" text that's neither as cluttered nor pricey as several of the leading candidates, this just may fit the bill. No accompanying DVD's, website, glossy photos, test banks or manuals, but it touches on most of the matters relevant to such a course (including just barely enough history), and it not only addresses writing about film but provides some helpful examples. If it were one-third rather than two-thirds the price of its competitors, I'd have no trouble going to it again, especially in a course that emphasizes literature as much as film.
