Synopsis

Basics Film-Making 04: The Language of Film explores the means by which film communicates meaning.

Most films are a mosaic of fractured images and fragmented narratives, yet we have little problem piecing them together into a complete, meaningful sequence. The average audience is capable of following the most labyrinthine plots, feeling genuine emotion for characters, and believing that their worlds continue to exist even after the film has ended.

This book discusses the stories films tell, the sign-systems they deploy, the interpretive contexts we are invited to place them in, and the range of aesthetic elements which contribute to the cinematic image.

Book Description

Basics Film-Making: The Language of Film is an engaging guide to the ways in which film-making techniques create meaning. The book discusses the structures and conventions that allow film to communicate effectively to a global audience: how meaning is gradually built up of tiny elements, and how to control an audience’s thoughts and feeling. The text is supported by case studies and examples taken from popular film, shorts, and student pieces.

 

From the Back Cover

Basics Film-Making: The Language of Film explores the means by which film communicates meaning to its audience. It will help you understand how films communicate by considering the stories they tell, the sign systems they deploy, the interpretive contexts the viewer is invited to place them in, and the range of aesthetic elements that contribute to the cinematic image. Each chapter concludes with a case study in which key ideas are seen in context within a particular film, or a specific scene.  

Basics Film-Making: The Language of Film presents complex ideas in a clear and straightforward style, enabling you to apply these ideas to your own analysis or film-making.

Other titles included in the Basics Film-Making series include: Producing, Screenwriting and Directing Fiction
