A Level Film Studies The Essential Introduction by John White (Paperback Book)

Building confidence through a careful, step-by-step approach, this book is an essential companion for students undertaking A Level Film Studies. This book begins by establishing a basic understanding of film analysis, introducing film construction, mise en scène, cinematography, editing, sound, and performance. Key theoretical approaches to narrative, genre, representation, spectatorship, and authorship are then introduced, along with specific national cinemas from around the world. Next, students consider the unique experiences of silent cinema, experimental films, and documentaries. Finally, the focus shifts to evaluating creative approaches to students’ own filmmaking.

Art and Architecture in Italy, 1250-1400 Yale University Press / Pelican History of Art by John White Yale University Press, 1993, Third Edition, 0300055854, 9780300055856, Trade Paperback, VG condition, no underlining, no highlighting, no spine creases. 684 pages. The 14th century in Italian art is a very rich one, and Professor White’s book gives architecture equal weight with painting and sculpture. The story of the Gothic style and the prehistory of the Renaissance is given: all the facts are related, but also the works of art are described with insight and for their own sakes, and not simply as data for fitting into schemes and theories. Among the great names are those of Arnolfo di Cambio, the Pisani, Cavallini, Cimabue, Duccio, Giotto, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti; among the buildings S. Croce, S. Maria Novella, the cathedral and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, and the cathedrals of Siena, Orvieto, and Milan, as well as churches, castles, and civic buildings from the Val d’Aosta to Sicily. The third edition of this work includes colour illustrations and incorporates textual revisions and an updated bibliography. nthdegree books
