Verlag: Auteur Publishing
A comprehensive study of the dominant genre in American cinema today.
Written by a practising classroom teacher, this set covers the spectrum of approaches to engaging with action/adventure films. Starting with a rethink of the traditional approach to teaching genre, the author goes on to explore:
Action/adventure narrative
Formal conventions of the genre
Issues of representation
Institutional practices (with particular regard to franchises and synergy)
Critical debates raised by the genre, especially to do with propaganda and censorship.
The emphasis is on popular and accessible texts, with extensive material on James Bond films, Die Hard, the Rambo films and the films of Lucas and Spielberg, amongst many others. The Guide also includes, an extensive filmography, tracing the development of the action/adventure film from early cinema to the present day. This Second Edition has a revised annotated filmography bringing things up-to-date with Avatar (2009) and a wholly new chapter that reflects upon the developments in the genre since the Guide was first published in 2003.
Used in conjunction with the accompanying Classroom Resources, these publications are essential tools for teachers of Media and Film Studies with students from 14-19 years of age, published in a classroom-friendly format.
