So far, my new textbook for film class, Understanding Movies, does a pretty good, but not great analysis for how film generally works. Too bad about the photo choices, though. If seeing a poster for Last Holiday introducing DRAMA isn't awkward enough, Louis Giannett uses Soldier as an example to explain cinematography.
Soldier. Paul W.S. Anderson.
In a textbook titled Understanding Movies.
Also, in the introduction,He explains his reasons to use publicity photos from 'popular' movies because they are more 'clearer and detailed' and refuses to bother capturing images because they are 'hard to see'. Sheesh, whatever dude.
