language used by filmmakers, critics, and very often both. Any student
enrolled in any film course at Salisbury University (whether you are in the film
concentration or not) should familiarize themselves with these terms.
The Internet Movie
Database - Are you wondering how to spell a
director's name, or what year a film was released? Consult
the Internet Movie Database for this information and more.
Film Studies for Free

multiple film-studies sources available online. You might
search her website for material relevant to your work, and you

service to improve your writing, for film courses, other courses, and for your
life beyond the university.

that you might encounter in cinema studies.
