The Shape of Motion

Cinema and the Aesthetics of Movement

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Shape of Motion: Cinema and the Aesthetics of Movement develops a method for analyzing movement on screen by identifying patterns or shapes of motion-called "motion forms"-across a wide range of examples from the history of cinema. By examining a single motion form, each chapter rethinks persistent assumptions in film studies about cinema as a medium.
