But although it could be argued that cinema is the intermedial art form par excellence, this insight has not affected film analysis as much as might be expected. Seeking to change our perceptions of cinema as a medium, Cinema Between Media draws on case studies of films like Zero Dark Thirty, Citizen Kane, Howl and Birdman to rethink cinema as an aesthetic form, and to raise new ideas about the practice of film analysis. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781474429023Contents: Preface -- Chapter 1: Introduction Cinema Between Media -- Chapter 2: Media behind the Scene: Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane -- Chapter 3: Cinematic Theatre: Alejandro G.

Its practices are more diffuse; its final product, less tangible; and Hollywood has adopted public-relations strategies that portray it as environmentally conscious. In Hollywood's Dirtiest Secret, Hunter Vaughan offers a new history of the movies from an environmental perspective, arguing that how we make and consume films has serious ecological consequences." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and index -- subtitle on verso 'the hidden environmental costs of our screen culture'ISBN: 9780231182416Contents: Introduction: The Big Picture -- Chapter 1: Burning down the house: fire, the eco-ethics of destruction, and authorship in the film spectacle -- Chapter 2: "Five Hundred Thousand Kilowatts of Stardust:" resource use and the formula for packaging nature in Singin' in the rain -- Chapter 3: Winds of change: twister and the visualization of environmental disaster in the digital age -- Chapter 4: Apocalypse tomorrow: Avatar and the myth of Earth's end in the digital era -- Chapter 5: The fifth element: production culture studies, relational values, and the human side of environmental media -- Conclusion: An element of hope
