Description: Eloquent Screen : A Rhetoric of Film, Hardcover by Perez, Gilberto; Harvey, James (FRW), ISBN 0816641323, ISBN-13 9780816641321, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Gilberto Perez, a Cuban-American film studies professor, puts forth a rhetoric of film, which can address aesthetic and social concerns, theory and practice, and historical aspects. He presents rhetoric as a form of film theory, which can help us understand how the construction of the film elicits audience response. A chapter-length introduction examines John Ford’s film rhetoric. One section is devoted to cinematic tropes, such as synecdoche, faces, the stolen necklace, the road of life, irony and realism, hometown and war, folk tales, and revolution. The next section covers melodrama and film technique, looking at aspects such as the close-up, novelistic characterization, the reverse angle, the personified camera, and split space.
