In doing so, the contributors provide invaluable insight into many of the theories at the heart of film studies. The book focuses on classical theories, culture-based approaches, early and modern theory, statistical approaches and the (potential) future of critical film theory. Divided into three sections, the essays discuss 'film form and method', including notions of time, space and sound in cinema; 'theory and method', including the idea of spectatorship and portrayals of sex, sexuality and family; and 'new technology and method', which includes digital cinema, the influence of special effects and audience studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms featured include \u003ci\u003eWent the Day Well?\u003c\/i\u003e (1942), \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e (1977), \u003ci\u003eA Room with a View\u003c\/i\u003e (1985), \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia\u003c\/i\u003e (1993), \u003ci\u003eTwelve Monkeys\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003eRomance\u003c\/i\u003e (1999), \u003ci\u003eAmerican Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eGladiator\u003c\/i\u003e (2000), as well as the films of Jacques-Louis David and Ridley Scott.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacqueline Furby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980332863606,"sku":"9781904764342","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/screen-methods-9781904764342","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
