Book Description:
At the time of its birth just over a century ago, the cinema was greeted as a kind of universal language. But this new universal language soon developed a special language of its own, a professional jargon made up of words borrowed from the theatre, the factory and the laboratory, plundered from other arts and other nations or coined in the heat and hurry of film-making.
The Language of Cinema provides a fascinating set of paths into this rich vocabulary, sampling some 2,000 of the most important words associated with the technology, business and skills of film-making, from the auteur theory to Z-movies. Informative for the non-specialist film buff or the mere film goer, The Language of Cinema is essential reading for anyone interested in how moving pictures has changed the way we speak.
