Coming Distractions: Questioning Movies

Baker, Frank W. Coming Distractions: Questioning Movies. Mankato, MN: Capstone Press, 2007. ISBN: 978-0-7368-6766-5.


This book was about the different media that is used in movies like music, advertisements, graphics, and other different things that go into movies to catch your attention. It talks about how movie makers secretly incorporate things into the movie that you might see, but don't recognize why it's there. This book taught how different media was used in movies and I learned new things about why some movies get my attention and others don't. Overall, the book was good and I would recommend the book to kids from the age of eight to twelve years old.
