The book is structured into four primary sections: Codes, Concepts, Contexts, and Cinemas. In the first half, readers explore the "Codes" of film language and production, alongside "Concepts" like Auteur theory, stardom, and realism. The latter half shifts toward "Contexts," examining Hollywood's dominance and the role of the audience, before concluding with "Cinemas," which focuses on national and alternative film movements. By engaging with these materials, you can learn to apply critical frameworks to movies, understand the relationship between the film industry and global culture, and develop the independent research skills necessary for advanced media analysis.
