Inklings

I'm addicted to books. According to Umberto Eco I am building an anti-library, meaning I own way more books than I have read. I love good fiction, literature, theology, Biblical studies, philosophy, children's books, and lots more.

Movies and Meaning: An Introduction to Film

Movies and Meaning: An Introduction to Film - Stephen R. Prince This was my text book for an intro to film class in college and I loved it. Sometimes when I was reading it I would start to feel guilty about not doing homework...then I would realize that it was homework! Prince uses loads of stills and storyboards to illustrate how movies us techniques such as cross fades, lighting, and props to convey meaning. I would be curious to see the latest edition.
