About the Author :
Sian Barber is a Lecturer in Film Studies at Queen’s University Belfast

Review :
‘Using Film as a Source is a true research guide. It will succeed in familiarizing students new to the medium film with its characteristics, and can also inspire those already pursuing film studies to understand film as more than a text. Most importantly, Barber’s direct style of writing and the structure of the book can convince that the at times challenging or even intimidating project of conducting genuine research is not only manageable but also exciting.’ Maraike M. Marxsen, Hamburg University, HJFRT Vol 36, No 4 ‘Using Film as a Source offers a concise summary for those wanting an intelligent and intelligible general introduction to the use of film as a scholarly resource, while also acting as a jumping-off point for those wanting to delve deeper.’ Richard Farmer, University of East Anglia, Journal of British Cinema and Television, Volume 14 Issue 2
