Shaped by Richard Barsam's more than twenty years of classroom experience, "Looking at Movies" uses students' natural enthusiasm for the subject as a foundation for going beyond enjoyment toward intelligent, analytical understanding of movies. Professor Barsam's clear writing, thorough presentation of fundamental film principles, and unique pedagogical additions to the traditional introductory text— including an entire chapter devoted to analytical writing— ensure that students approach screenings and writing assignments equipped with the analytical tools necessary to be active, insightful interpreters of movies. "Looking at Movies" is accompanied by two outstanding multimedia resources, the Student website and CD-ROM, both of which are integrated directly with the text.
