'The new edition has kept useful material, whilst updating some case studies and revamping some of the formats to offer itself as more an independent guide for students to use ... with clear explanations of key terms and with a range of examples from relatively recent films that students can use as models to apply to their own experience ... a good introduction for students at this level.' - Media Education Association Newsletter'When I first flicked through the AS Film Studies book I was amazed on how much there is but the more there is the more you learn so I am extremely happy about that.

I was looking for a book that is in good structured layout and easy to understand.

Overall a great book to have. I recommend it to anyone. So far my 2 friends in my class have been impressed by the book.' - S.
