This book traces the development of popular cinema from its inception to the present day to understand why humankind has expanded its viewing of popular movies over the last century. During its short history, movies have evolved to enhance our engagement, thereby changing the way we perceive, understand, and respond to them emotionally. Drawing from hundreds of films across a wide range of genres and eras, the book considers the structure of frame content, shots, scenes, and larger narrational elements defined by color, brightness, motion, clutter, and range of other variables. Along the way, the book explores cultural and technological evolutions that have contributed to shifts in viewers' engagement by sustaining attention, promoting interpretations of the narrative, heightening emotional commitment, and fostering felt presence in the story. Through this lens, Movies on Our Minds asks critical questions about how we perceive, understand, and respond emotionally to movies over cinematic history. -- |
