For help finding good resources on film, here are a few helpful terms or phrases.

If you're having trouble finding good books and articles on 'film' or 'movies', try motion pictures. Same goes for searches for the motion picture industry if you'd like to write about the business of movie-making, and motion picture plays instead of 'scripts' or 'screenplays'.

If you're searching for information on a specific genre or style, you can use 'films', like science fiction films or silent films.

To find books, you can use OWUSearch, our library catalog. OWUSearch doesn't just search for physical books, but also lets you search for ebooks, journal articles, and even allows you to search for books at other schools, which you can order for free.
