Resources
Film Terms -
In order to learn
anything about the cinema, it is crucial that you understand some of the basic
language used by filmmakers, critics, and very often both. Any student
enrolled in any film course at Salisbury University (whether you are in the film
concentration or not) should familiarize themselves with these terms.
The Internet Movie
Database - Are you wondering how to spell a
director's name, or what year a film was released? Consult
the Internet Movie Database for this information and more.
Film Studies for Free
- Catherine Grant's now well known website collects links to
multiple film-studies sources available online. You might
search her website for material relevant to your work, and you
might also consult her ongoing list of
free e-books in film studies.
The Writing Center - Use this
service to improve your writing, for film courses, other courses, and for your
life beyond the university.
ScreenLex
- This site has pronunciation guides for many names and terms
that you might encounter in cinema studies.
On-line and Print Film Journals and Magazines
Some of these links are on-line publications; some of them
are the on-line versions of print publications; and some of them are a
combination of both. Also, some publications are aimed
at an academic audience, while others are not.
Literature/Film Quarterly,
an international academic journal
devoted to the study of adaptation, is published here at Salisbury University.
For an even more
extensive list, consult Film Studies for Free's "Online
Film and Media Studies Journals."
