 Film theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Film theory is about film as a medium rather than about individual films, although theorists often use individual films as examples in generating their theories and film theory is frequently applied to discussions of individual films.
Film theory can also be distinguished from film analysis, which aims to describe how specific features of a film relate to each other in the structure of a film (or body of films) as a whole.
Thus, a film theory might note that a film is unlike reality in that a viewer cannot control what she sees, a film analysis might note that a specific shot restricts the viewer's knowledge of a future plot point, and film criticism might praise the cinematographer's use of framing to increase suspense.
