Seeing Sense: On film analysis

The introduction of film study or analysis into the school curriculum, along with the presentation of courses on the art of cinema at technikons, universities and film and television schools, has led to more and more students becoming cinema literate at an early age. Written by film analyst and critic, Leon van Nierop, this is an introduction to the joys of analysing films. It is not intended as a text on film criticism, film theory or communication studies. Instead it sets out to provide practical answers to questions confronted by newcomers to courses on film analysis and appreciation. The contemporary examples, case studies and many photographs enhance the student-driven approach of this interesting publication.
