Film Art: An Introduction

When I got this book it was around $60 on amazon to buy, and at my school's bookstore they were selling it for $150-$200. This was one of the most effective purchases I have ever made, not only for the price but the extremely extensive and real life information this book provides. Perfect for a first year film student, or anyone curious in the art.

Up to date and interestingly written! Highly recommend for film enthusiasts.

It was old and bent. The book wouldn't stay closed. However it was cheap and readable so I was able to use it.

Received book today. The front and the back cover are both ripped up. Have rented books before and they weren't in this rough of shape. I guess that is what is expected as it is a rental

Great book and great service by amazon etc

Several pages were completely stuck together with what I can only assume was binding glue. Unable to separate without destroying said pages. Very irritating when you have a quiz on that missing information the next day! I can only hope I don't run into any more glued pages.

I needed it quick and as soon as possible and boom! It came so no problems here.

Such an amazing book to learn from

It is a hard read, and there are a lot of movies that you need to watch to follow along with the book. I lost my attention span reading this book, and I think there are much better books out there to discuss the making of movies.

This book includes every relevant reference to Film history, development, genre and technique you will ever need!

Got this for a great price! My school was selling this for double!

It's good but the thing's gonna be pretty used looking by the end of the year. Clearly these were not made to last in an effort to sell a new edition next year. Flimsy paperback for my most expensive textbook is a big L that I had to take here. My $80 psych book is hardcover and has almost twice the pages. Disappointing to say the least.

Good for school
