One of the subjects I am taking is called Introduction to Film and Television Studies. Would anybody be able to recommend a good textbook that might help me in this course. Basically, the course looks at the different genres, audience reaction to films, various styles. My favourite film genre is film noir and I'm really into the classic films, so hoping I'll get to see a few of these in the course. Hoping someone might be able to help.
