You're probably aware of this one too, but John Fell's FILM AND THE

NARRATIVE TRADITION deals with the influence of various types of media

on cinema.  You might find Bergman's autobiographical comments on the

influence of the magic lantern on his career useful (also see the

opening scenes of FANNY AND ALEXANDER).
