I'm neither a philosopher nor a filmist, so perhaps I'm the perfect
person to make suggestions (ha!).
Not very advanced and quite probably out of date, I nonetheless like
John Fiske's "intro to television" type works. I think they'd be both
approachable to you and your students. Routledge has some nice
introductory guides all around, I think.
You can preview Television Culture and Reading Television (Fiske and
Hartley) on Google Books. I also like Routledge's Television Studies:
The Key Concepts. As a nube, I like the whole "Key Concepts" series.
(Yeah, I'm a bit TV-centric)
I've not read Cinema Studies: The Key Concepts, but it has separate
indexes for Films, Persons, and Subjects that suggest it might be a
useful crash course.
I (heart) Routledge. If OUP had a Very Short Introduction on the
subject, I'd recommend it.
Cheers.
