About the Book

New Publication Just Released! Movies are fun. For moviemakers, there is no substitute for a well-told tale expressed through strong imagery and a deeply felt soundtrack. Necessarily, this involves thinking about what movies are, who makes and watches them, when and where they are made and watched, and why they exist in the first place. Under the Tent-Pole: Blockbusters, Oscar Winners, Alternatives, and You (A Primer on Movies) helps movie fans become movie aficionados through a survey intended to yield better moviemakers and more fully rounded scholars. Under the Tent-Pole: Blockbusters, Oscar Winners, Alternatives, and You (A Primer on Movies) is a highly readable introductory textbook that focuses exclusively on movies released in 2012. Current events and recent historical developments form the backdrop for each chapter-length investigation into such topics as Classical and Non-Classical style, and various moviemaking trades and artistic techniques. Under the Tent-Pole helps students become more thoughtful moviegoers and better scholars by concentrating on vivid examples like The Avengers, Argo, and Cloud Atlas. In this way, the book examines famous works that may be extremely well known along with promoting more obscure titles that equally demonstrate the fun of studying movies. Available in print and eBook formats, Under the Tent-Pole: Blockbusters, Oscar Winners, Alternatives, and You (A Primer on Movies): Encourages stimulating lecture, vigorous discussion, and corollary activities to help students increase their appreciation of the discipline. Features a mix of foreign and domestic works, and fiction and documentaries, ranging from The Kid With a Bike and Coriolanus through Django Unchained and How to Survive a Plague. Breaks down difficult topics into easily digestible pieces, resembling a jigsaw puzzle. Identifies titles that are not commercially famous, but are nonetheless remarkable viewing experiences. Contains chapters centered on a central idea that holds together the scope of the chapter with an essential definition. Is student friendly! In the Spotlight, Key Terms, Discussion Questions, Suggested Screenings, and Useful Readings vignettes expand learning beyond the classroom and help the reader apply concepts learned.
