The hunger games : Spectacle, risk and the girl action hero / Catherine Driscoll and Alexander Heatwole Abingdon: Routledge, 2018.
Call No: 79 HUN DRIAuthor: Driscoll, Catherine ; Heatwole, Alexandra Edition: 2018Place: AbingdonPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2018PhysDes: 112 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSeries: cinema and youth culturesSubject: HUNGER GAMES, THE (US, Gary Ross, 2012) ; HUNGER GAMES, THE : CATCHING FIRE (US, Francis Lawrence, 2013) ; HUNGER GAMES, THE : MOCKINGJAY PART 1 (US, Francis Lawrence, 2014) ; HUNGER GAMES, THE : MOCKINGJAY PART 2 (US, Francis Lawrence, 2015) ; TEEN FILMS Summary: The 2012 film The Hunger Games and its three sequels, appearing quickly over the following three years, represent one of the most successful examples of the contemporary popularity of youth-oriented speculative film and television series. This book considers "The Hunger Games" as an intertextual field centred on this blockbuster film franchise but also encompassing the successful novels that preceded them and the merchandised imagery and the critical and fan discourse that surrounds them. It explores the place of The Hunger Games in the history of youth-oriented cinema; in the history of speculative fiction centred on adolescents; in a network of continually evolving and tightly connected popular genres; and in the popular history of changing ideas about girlhood from which a successful action hero like Katniss Everdeen could emerge. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781138683068Contents: Introduction ‘The Hunger Games’

Often requiring time and effort to fully grasp it and seeming rather old-fashioned, it can be difficult to approach the subject with enthusiasm and appreciate its relevance to modern day.
Understanding Film Theory aims to disassociate theory from these connotations and bring a fresh, contemporary and accessible approach to the discipline. Now comprehensively updated in a second edition, the book’s sixteen chapters - including a new chapter on Adaptations - continue to provide an insight into the main areas of debate. Taking the application of theory as its central theme, the text incorporates a number of innovative features: ‘Reflect and Respond’ sections encourage readers to engage critically with theoretical concepts, while seminal texts are concisely summarised without oversimplifying key points.
Throughout the book the authors illustrate why theory is important and demonstrate how it can be applied in a meaningful way, with relevant case studies drawn from both classic and contemporary cinema including: Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Run Lola Run (1998), The Hunger Games (2012), Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013) and The Lego Movie (2014). Additional case studies address key genres (the British Gangster film and the musical), film movements (Dogme 95), individual actors (Ryan Gosling, Judi Dench and Amitabh Bachchan) and directors (Alfred Hitchcock and Guillermo del Toro).
Understanding Film Theory is an approachable and extensive introduction to film theory. It is the ideal entry point for any student studying film, using clear definitions and explaining complex ideas succinctly.
