The Book Cinema Studies is a book that covers a huge variety of aspects related to film, cinema, film and even theatre. However it covers a lot more than meets the eye, it also contains information on points such as cultural studies, Disney productions and comedy. It also has a lot of sections that you wouldn’t think would be revised upon, such as photography or computer graphic imaging (CGI). They also focus on film industries in countries around the globe, on what genre they first emerged as when they came into the cinema and film world. For example, Brazil came to cinema in the 1950’s, producing documentaries blending history, myth and popular culture.
Though this book doesn’t really focus an animation what-so-ever, I thought that I would use this book for my research as a ways to compare the views and information gathered by two different sides of the industries. Even though I am looking at comedy in animation, the points made from say animators in the animation industry may be totally different to that of what the film makes in the film industry believe.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs to look up detailed information on cinema and film, or anything even related to it. Even animation students are advised to use this book when ever possible, even though it doesn’t have much information on animation itself, it’s still good to obtain knowledge of film and cinema because they are more or less two sides of the same coin.
