Title: Not a film book, be warned
Product review: I know this text fairly well. I went to film school, and Joe Anderson was the head of the film deparment. I took his cognitive film theory class, and his own book, this book, was the text.This book will teach you nothing about film. It is a psychology book. It is moderately interesting to consider how the brain works to perceive the illusion of strobing still images and sound, bonding it together into a "moving" image on the screen. But this will not teach you anything about making film, video, or TV.So, if you really like film theory, but don't like film, then this book is for you. If you want to be a better filmmaker then run, run away.By the way, I got an incomplete in his class. But he left the university after that semester.
