The Film Experience provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the formal elements of film, but unlike all other beginning film texts, it uses viewership as its starting place, anchoring the fundamentals of film analysis in film-going experiences students can identify with. By using the relationship between viewers and films as a lens through which students can explore the historical, cultural, and financial issues surrounding the cinema, The Film Experience consciously allows for interpretive strategies beyond formalist analysis. As a result, the book enables students to extract a broad range of complex meanings from the films they watch. Combining these multiple approaches with a fresh, accessible writing style, The Film Experience offers a unique, innovative way to introduce students to film, giving them the technical vocabulary, cultural and historical background, and critical and analytical tools they need for serious film study.
