Description:
Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. It brings together ground-breaking and inspiring work on this topic from both renowned and newer academics in the field. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen.
Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films. -- .

Show stopper!
Size: X-Small, Color: Blue-2 Pieces, Size: X-Small, Color: Blue-2 Pieces
This jacket is everything! My son wore it to his football banquet and it looked amazing. I was worried because he is big for his age and although he can wear men sizes, they can sometimes be too long in the arms. This jacket did not disappoint. It fit his arms well, buttoned up nice and was a great length. It was a nice feel and was not overbearing and thick, but made well. He did a lot of moving around but had no issue with feeling tight it’s certain movements or any rip. I would definitely recommend, money well spent. For reference, my son is 5’1 and 125 pounds. We got a size XS.

Not even close on the size
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
Size is not even close to correct. Ordered a 3xl but the actual size was closer to a XL or even a large. Be wary on the sizes. They are not accurate
