Here is the list of books suggested in the video. Watch the video fully to understand why he suggests these books and for an overview of each of them. 1. Filmish: A Graphic Journey Through Film by Edward Ross 2. 100 Best Films of the Century by Barry Norman 3. Film Studies: An Introduction: Teach Yourself by Warren Buckland 4. Understanding Film Theory by Ruth Doughty, Christine Etherington-Wright 5. Monaco: How to Read a Film: Movies, Media, and Beyond: Art, Technology, Language, History, Theory by James Monaco Thanks you for this video I was waiting for these recommendations. Cheers!
From a media geek to another, please keep on with your channel! I just found it and I am really amazed by the content. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!
Thanks for saying! I'm aiming to get at least one video out per month but it's mad how long they take - from scripting through to final edit I'd say they take about 12 hours each!
@@TheMediaInsider Ohh I feel you! but all that effort can be easily identified in your great videos. I have learned a lot from the ones I already watched! :)
If I could be so bold, I recommend adding the Oxford History of World Cinema by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith to your list. It's that coffee table book that is also a great introduction to the history of film. I read my first copy (lost - the vicissitudes of life!) and the second one is getting a little beat up, too. Nothing like a little historical context when you're both exhausted and bored to tears on set - to know that as much as things have changed, in most respects, they haven't 🙂
