Short Story/short FilmPrentice-Hall, 1977 - 447 pagina's This book offers a unique contrast in media approach to film and fiction. It seeks to sharpen an understanding of how stories and films work and it encourages a reader-viewer to probe more confidently into the strategies of cinematic and literary storytelling modes. Each of the first ten story/film combinations closes with exercises and writing suggestions designed to enhance critical awareness and faster creative writing. Five contrasts in media critiques augment the critical apparatus. The book also includes thirty still shots taken from films discussed in the theory sections of each chapter. The book stresses practicality as weel as cinematic theory. Appendices list film distributors, film running time, the cost of film rentals or purchases, a film glossary and bibliography, and a list of additional short stories adapted to film, along with their distributors. |
