Description
The film text that puts the student experience—and student analysis—first
The best-selling film appreciation text on the market, Looking at Movies succeeds by building on students’ enthusiasm for screened entertainment. It introduces students to film studies by starting with the movies they know and love before guiding them to more serious film analysis—with a robust set of video and interactive resources to support them along the way. The Eighth Edition reflects the shifting film and educational landscapes, with revisions that respond to changes in streaming media, new digital filmmaking techniques, and the move toward hybrid and online classes.
