The dynamic frame : camera movement in classical Hollywood / Patrick Keating New York; Chichester, UK: Columbia University Press,
Call No: 233.6(73) KEAAuthor: Keting, Patrick Edition: 2019Place: New York; Chichester, UKPublisher: Columbia University PressPhysDes: xi,350 pages : illustrated ; 24 cmSubject: BERKELEY, BUSBY ; BORDWELL, DAVID ; CAMERA ANGLES ; CITIZEN KANE (US, Orson Welles, 1941) ; CONVERGENCE ; FORD, JOHN ; HAWKS, HOWARD ; HITCHCOCK, ALFRED ; LAST LAUGH, THE (G, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1924) ; MAMOULIAN, ROUBEN ; MURNAU, FRIEDRICH WILHEL ; PREMINGER, OTTO ; SUNRISE (US, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1927) ; TOLAND, GREGG ; VIDOR, KING ; WELLES, ORSON Summary: The camera’s movement in a film may seem straightforward or merely technical. Yet skillfully deployed pans, tilts, dollies, cranes, and zooms can express the emotions of a character, convey attitude and irony, or even challenge an ideological stance. In The Dynamic Frame, Patrick Keating offers an innovative history of the aesthetics of the camera that examines how camera movement shaped the classical Hollywood style.
In careful readings of dozens of films, including Sunrise, The Grapes of Wrath, Rear Window, Sunset Boulevard, and Touch of Evil, Keating explores how major figures such as F. W. Murnau, Orson Welles, and Alfred Hitchcock used camera movement to enrich their stories and deepen their themes. Balancing close analysis with a broader poetics of camera movement, Keating uses archival research to chronicle the technological breakthroughs and the changing division of labor that allowed for new possibilities, as well as the shifting political and cultural contexts that inspired filmmakers to use technology in new ways. An original history of film techniques and aesthetics, The Dynamic Frame shows that the classical Hollywood camera moves not to imitate the actions of an omniscient observer but rather to produce the interplay of concealment and revelation that is an essential part of the exchange between film and viewer. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231190510Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Ephemeral media : Transitory screen culture from television to YouTube / Paul Grainge Houndsmill, Basingstoke, Hampshire ; New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011.
Call No: 77 EPHAuthor: Grainge, Paul, 1972 - Place: Houndsmill, Basingstoke, Hampshire ; New YorkPublisher: Palgrave MacmillanPubDate: 2011PhysDes: viii, 236 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.Subject: CONVERGENCE ; INTERNET AND THE CINEMA ; INTERNET AND TV ; SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE CINEMA ; ONLINE VIDEO PROGRAMMING ; COMPUTERIZED ANIMATION AND SPECIAL EFFECTS ; COMPUTERS AND THE CINEMA ; YOUTUBE ; ADVERTISING Summary: "From the television interstitials that appear between programmes to the brief clips and videos that proliferate on YouTube, contemporary screen culture is populated by short-forms that make claims for our attention. Ephemeral Media provides a unique focus on these fleeting but increasingly ubiquitous texts. Through case studies in television and web entertainment, this original book looks at the production of media at the edges, within the junctions, and that surround the output of networks and studios. Analyzing promos and idents, emergent forms of online TV and web drama, and the burgeoning world of worker- and user-generated content, this new collection also examines screen forms that circulate "between," "beyond" and "below" the TV programs and films traditionally privileged within screen studies. With essays by leading international scholars in television, film and new media studies, as well as interviews with key industry figures, Ephemeral Media explores the practices, strategies and textual forms helping producers (and viewers) negotiate a fast-paced mediascape. Examining dynamics of brevity and evanescence in the television and new media environment, Ephemeral Media provides a new perspective on the transitory, and transitional, nature of screen culture in the early 21st century"-- BlurbNotes: Formerly CIP.
