| Summary |
This introduction to film appreciation uses an abundance of examples from contemporary and popular American films to help students sharpen their powers of observation and estabilish habits of perceptive watching that will enhance their enjoyment of films. Watching films is itself an art, and Professor Boggs encourages beginning filmgoers to become more perceptive in reading the multilayered blend of image, sound, color and motion-more aware of the complexity of film art. |
