Christine Gledhill and Linda Williams (Arnold: London, 2000), pp. 438-452.Terms:- Cinema of attractions: a cinema that displays its visibility, willing to rupture a self-enclosed fictional world for a chance to solicit the attention of the spectator. This meaning that cinema could be created, not necessarily as an entertainment function but more along the lines that a film would attract its spectators by presenting something exclusive, something unique.- Realism: A movement that emerged in mid-19th century France. Realist artists represented the subject matter of everyday life in a relatively naturalistic mode. (Book E)- Animation: the technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the movie is shown as a sequence.- Montage: the process or technique of selecting, editing, and piecing together separate sections of film to form a continuous whole.- Auteur: a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie.- New Wave: a cinematic movement that is characterized by improvisation, abstraction, and subjective symbolism and that often makes use of experimental photographic techniques- Genre: a category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter.
