Description:
Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. It brings together ground-breaking and inspiring work on this topic from both renowned and newer academics in the field. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen.
Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films. -- .

It’s very hard to prepare for a comprehensive certification examination studying from an incomplete text. FYI, the book was purchased new and not damaged, it was bound that way

Kindle version does not come with tests/flashcards
I did not know this beforehand. They hid this fact waaaay down below and added it in below the details and neglected to add it to the main description at the top. Be advised.

General overview and relevant search terms for you to look up
Format: Paperback
I liked that there are online resources. I disliked multiple typos and some information that disagreed with my personal experience so I don't know what that was about. Stopped reading it after this chapter

Great study material
I’m using this to get ready for my A+ exam. Can’t wait to finally get certified in all the areas I have been dreaming to work in. I have ADD so it’s tough to sit and ready most things, but this book allows me to focus on something I love to be around, talk about and work on. It’s super helpful in Computer Hardware (basics) software trouble shooting (basics) and learning about handheld devices like cell phones, although some information is not correct on the cell phone portions, I am an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) certified technician and a Wise Level 2 certified technician so I am very familiar with cell phones, but it’s not all wrong, it allows the reader to search for the information and build a better foundation on these products because they change so frequently. Also the visuals are amazing, I love to see pictures of what I am reading about because I’m such a man child, but also because theory is one thing and practical knowledge is another. Being able to replicate a scenario and attempt a fix is helpful to those who can’t sit still.

Very nice quality and gets the job done

This has been the best derma plane razor that I’ve bought so far. I love that it has all of the refills and I ended up buying one for my daughter as well.
