Why not try The Cinema Book, edited by Pam Cook and published by the British Film Institute. You may find it rather helpful, though a bit heavy in the theoryside. Try Film Art: An Introduction, by Bordwell and Thompson. This book is more about the technical side of cinema and history. You should be able to order these books from any good bookshop. Hope this helps. Steve Milroy, University of Luton, England. ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
