Film theory : [electronic resource] creating a cinematic grammar / - one online resource, 145 pages : illustrations ; - Short cuts series ; .
"A Wallflower Press book"--Title page verso
Introduction : the written matter of a cinematic grammar -- Models -- Technology -- Spectators -- Conclusion : film theory as practice
"This book addresses the core concepts and arguments created or used by leading academics, critical film theorists, and prominent filmmakers. It takes the position that film theory is a form of writing that produces a unique cinematic grammar; and like all grammars, it forms part of the system of rules that govern a language, and is thus applicable to wider range of media forms. In their creation of authorial trends, identification of the technology of cinema as a creative force, and production of films as aesthetic markers, film theories contribute an epistemological resource that connects the technologies of filmmaking and film composition. This book explores these connections through film theorisations of processes of the diagrammatisation (the systems, methodologies, concepts, histories) of cinematic matters of the filmic world."--Page 4 of cover
