下列資料主要是提供中央大學與輔仁大學英文系電影課程學生,以及台灣對電影研究有興趣的朋友一個入門的介紹。我們列出一些與電影文化、傳統、工業、語言等相關中文(翻譯)書籍,以及對於了解這些主題有幫助的電影。每個主題將會有基本的簡介陸續附上,文選也將會有摘要,幫助學生了解大意。電影的部份僅能選取我們個人感興趣,適合教學的幾部,其實電影百年以來佳片無數,隨手捻來均有相關,不必拘泥於這裡的幾部。我們盡量納入各時期的代表影片,並均加入網路電影資料庫IMDB的連結、影片年代以及影片在中央大學圖書館(9字頭)以及英文系英語自學中心(LD/DVD/VHS-)的索書號,方便學生參考。特別標出的選文以及影片是為課程安排而設。頁尾我們附上書目以及相關網站以供進一步研究。

 Filmed image
(of a man)
". . . images are culturally charged; the camera angle employed, his position within the frame, the use of lighting to highlight certain aspects, any effect achieved by colour, tinting, or processing, would all have the potential for social meaning.  (46)
Glossary:
  Grammar
of film
  1. each shot is related to those adjacent to it.
  2. unlike the grammar of written language which is to a large degreee explicitly culturally regulated, relationships between shots in a film have to be constructed through less stable sets of conventions.  Much depends not only on the audience''s ''competencies''. .  ., but also on the film-maker''s ability to construct any relationships which are not governed by convention. (50-51) [. . . through constructing relationships between shots (montage) or through constructing relationships within shots (mise-en-scene)] (51)
  • Film stock-- its colors (e.g. black and white, color); its quality (e.g. grainy, of poor definition, blurred, like newsreel or documentary) 
Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography
 Camera 
angles 
1. height and distance from the subject --e.g. overhead, helicopter or crane shots, turn film into a performance art
  2. --panning, tiling, rolling -- panning: the spector''s survey of the scene round them.
--rolling, gives the illusion of the world. . . being tipped on its side .
  3. --point-of-view shot enhancing audience''s identification with a character''s experience
 Camera 
focus
1. close-up enhancing audience''s identification with a character''s experience
  2. alteration in focus Most films aim at a very deep field of focus in which everything from the foreground to the far background is clear and sharp. 
  3. soft focus on a character or background romantic or lyrical effect
  4. ''rack'' focus (one face in focus, the other blurred) direct the audience''s attention from one character to another

scene
"everything-that-is-in-the-frame" of a shot

--enhance narrative
--provide clues in a thriller
  Editing --montage; 
--fade out
