Description:

Although cinematic storytelling shares many of the same elements as other art forms, film tells a story in a unique way. Concentrating on careful analysis of the formal aspects of specific films for each chapter, Persistence of Vision is an ideal text for both face-to-face and online introduction to film studies courses. By examining the practice of filmmaking and the evolution of the significant developments in the cinematic narrative and the unique elements by which films communicate, this textbook serves as a guide through the journey of movies. Students will understand that, as audiences, they watch illusions on the screen in the form of a rapid series of images and sounds, which they must translate through their imaginations to decipher is ultimate meaning.
