Features: A Collection of Essays on Film Studies in the New Century. This book is a work of research on film ontology. It discusses film from six main aspects of film creation—script, director, cinematography, sound recording, art design, and performance. The book includes both practical analyses of film creation by researchers and experiential discussions of the creative process by creators themselves. The film objects studied in this book are primarily Chinese films, but also involve the essence of world cinema. The entire book presents a concrete and perceptual discussion of the entire film creation process, aiming to enable readers to systematically understand film through the research and discussion of its various aspects.
