Features: This book is a compilation that draws on the experiences and strengths of previous selections, making additions and corrections on this basis. It aims to provide a relatively comprehensive and diverse range of content, with theoretical depth suitable for both advanced and introductory levels. It also emphasizes the theoretical continuity and potential progressive relationship between the selections, making it suitable as a foundational textbook for graduate students across various disciplines, as well as a teaching and self-study resource for undergraduate students. Strengthening theoretical instruction and improving students' knowledge quality is a direct goal of compiling this book, helping to mitigate the negative effects of fast-food culture to some extent. 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. Most of the prefaces are written by professors and core teaching staff from the university, providing brief biographical introductions, academic backgrounds, their status and major contributions in the theoretical field, as well as the main theoretical perspectives and influences of the selected texts, to serve as a reference for readers.
