m e d i a w o r k s 2 0 0 9 – 1 0

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday, September 28th, 12 – 2:30 pm, Seminar 2 C1105.

1. Many of our READINGS will be individual articles, but here are…

5 Required Fall Texts:

1. Sturken and Cartwright, Practices of Looking (For those of you who have the  ”old” edition with the blue/white cover, note that there is a new 2009 edition we’ll be using) ISBN: 0195314409

2. Ascher and Pincus, The Filmmaker’s Handbook (be sure to get the most recent (2008) edition) ISBN: 0452286786

3. Robert Bresson, Notes on the Cinematographer (Publisher page here)

4. Walter Murch, In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing (revised 2nd edition) ISBN: 1879505622

NEW ADDITION 5. Timothy Corrigan, A Short Guide to Writing About Film (7th Edition) ISBN: 0205668941

The bookstore will be stocking these.

For what it’s worth, I’ve started to look at a book called What do Pictures Want? by WJT Mitchell. We may read a chapter from this book, I’m not sure yet, but you’re not required to buy it. If you’re intrigued enough by the title, take a further look. The chapter “Addressing Media” is particularly relevant.
