This is part of the Research Methods and Skills workshop series:

In this session I would like to explore some of the different ways in which academics and critics write about film. We will consider a number of examples of film writing and identify some common approaches and styles. We will also think a little more carefully about the difference between interpretation and evaluation when writing about the cinema. In the workshop we will engage with a number of film extracts and practice some ways of writing about film.
