N2  - The movie idiom is an apt moniker for the wide-ranging issues addressed in film studies courses and examined in Stanley's accessible volume. Organized within three parts--The Technical-Artistic, The Historical-Institutional, and The Critical-Cultural--chief concepts include technical advances, shooting and editing techniques, the collaborative aspects of production, film history and tradition, industrial developments, narrative structures, acting approaches, stereotypical representations, genre conventions, and censorship concerns. Stanley's analysis of significant movies illuminates essential points, connects readers with actual moviemaking, and stimulates the reader's own creativity.
Still photographs, frame enlargements, diagrams, and publicity material directly related to the specific concepts under consideration appear throughout the text. Full explanations of key terms and concepts are contained in the glossary
