This edition defines in clear and concise language the artistic methods of an ever-evolving medium. With more than 100 stills from classic and contemporary films and 417 terms, this dictionary provides a useful compendium of aesthetic techniques, theoretical concepts, styles and genres. With 50 new entries, it covers the latest developments in motion-picture art - including terms relating to animation techniques, special effects, and sound aesthetics - while avoiding the exclusive focus on purely technical terminology common to many other film dictionaries. Extensive cross-referencing among individual definitions and a comprehensive topical index ensure complete access to the art, language and theory of film.
