Figures Traced in Light: On Cinematic Staging

David Bordwell

About this book

A film tells its story not only through dialogue and actors' performances, but also through the director's control of movement and shot design. This is a detailed consideration of how cinematic staging carries the story, expresses emotion, and beguiles the audience through pictorial composition.
