Features: This book is a compilation that draws on the experiences and strengths of previous selections, with additions and revisions made based on these foundations. It aims to provide a relatively comprehensive and diverse range of content, with theoretical depth appropriate for various levels. The selection also emphasizes the theoretical continuity and potential progressive relationships between the texts, making it suitable as a foundational theory textbook for graduate students across disciplines, as well as a teaching and self-study resource for undergraduate students. Strengthening theoretical instruction and improving students' knowledge quality is, to some extent, a direct goal of compiling this book, helping to mitigate the negative impacts of fast-food culture. The selection principles of this book are: a combination of completeness and classicism, equal emphasis on traditional and modern theories, and the unification of temporal continuity and content relevance. This book is divided into two volumes: one on film and the other on television. Each original text is preceded by a preface. The prefaces are mostly written by professors and core teaching staff from the university, covering the author's biographical background, academic background, their status and major contributions in the field of theory, as well as the main theoretical perspectives and influences of the selected texts, to serve as a reference for readers.
