- catalog abstract ""Understanding Cinema analyzes the moving imagery of film and television from a psychological perspective. Per Persson argues that spectators perceive, think, apply knowledge, infer, interpret, feel, and make use of knowledge, assumptions, expectations, and prejudices when viewing and making sense of film. Drawing on the methods of psychology and anthropology, he explains how close-ups, editing conventions, character psychology and other cinematic techniques work, and how and why they affect the spectator. This study integrates psychological and culturalist approaches to meaning and reception in new ways, anchoring the discussion in concrete examples from early and contemporary cinema Understanding Cinema also examines the design of cinema conventions and their stylistic transformations through the evolution of film."--Jacket.".
