Starting from an established body of work in film theory, the authors show how a close incorporation of the current state of the art in multimodal theory-including accounts of the syntagmatic and paradigmatic axes of organisation, discourse semantics and advanced 'layout structure'-builds a methodology by which concrete details of film sequences drive mechanisms for constructing filmic discourse structures. The book introduces the necessary background, the open questions raised, and the method by which analysis can proceed sRoutledge studies in multimodality ;5.Motion picturesPhilosophyMotion picturesSemioticsMotion picturesPhilosophy.Motion picturesSemiotics.791.4301Bateman John A0Schmidt Karl-Heinrich1690953MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823656503321Multimodal film analysis4066999UNINA
