Reviews
"""By developing a framework for multimodal film analysis, Bateman and Schmidt bridge the gap between accounts that analyse film shot by shot and those accounts who primarily focus on larger units such as scenes. One of the fundamental advances of their socio-semiotic model is that it includes details on lower levels of abstraction as well as highly abstract concepts like filmic genre… As far as I am aware, the concept they develop is unmatched in contemporary film theory and shows how fundamental semiotic concepts still are.""—Thomas Metten in Multimodal Communication"
