    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    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 sc?ne, 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.


    Thoroughly revised and updated to match exam specifications for both Eduqas and OCR, the fourth edition of this essential textbook features:



    • Case studies and activities relating to a number of films, including those new to the syllabus such as Get Out, Cléo from 5 to 7, and Belfast, each clearly signposted to the relevant board and specification

    • Fully integrated online resources, cross-referenced within the text, to help students and instructors dive deeper into case studies and exam prep

    • Even more chapter summaries and breakout boxes containing definitions of key terms, theories, and theorists throughout.

    Designed to be comprehensive and easy-to-use, A Level Film Studies: The Essential Introduction covers everything students need to succeed in their exams as well as inspiring further study.


    This book is supported by e-resources for students and instructors, including additional case studies, revision checklists, and key approaches to assessment.
