What does it mean to regard cinema as technology? How do special effects change our experience of contemporary film? Recent digital advances have transformed the films we watch and the ways in which we experience them.

Throughout the text, issues and debates are clearly elucidated through a diverse range of up-to-date case studies, including the "Star Wars" prequels and the "Matrix" trilogy. Accessible yet stimulating, this timely text is ideal reading for all students of Film and Media Studies.
