You can now access the e-book of a new title that we've just added to our collection for The Art of Film module. Film, Form and Culture, Kolker, is available through E-Resources and the Dawson Books Database. To give you an idea of the content, here is part of the summary of this title.
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.
