Figures traced in light : on cinematic staging / David Bordwell Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 2005.
Call No: 631.21 BORAuthor: Bordwell, David Source: USPlace: Berkeley, Calif.Publisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2005PhysDes: 314 p. : 25 cmSubject: BORDWELL, DAVID ; FEUILLADE, LOUIS ; MIZOGUCHI KENJI ; HOU HSIAO-HSIEN ; ANGELOPOULOS, THEO ; HAWKS, HOWARD ; ANTONIONI, MICHELANGELO ; YASUJIRO OZU ; KITANO TAKESHI ; AESTHETICS ; CINEMATOGRAPHY Notes: A film tells its story not only through dialogue and actors’ performances but also through the director’s control of movement and shot design. Figures Traced in Light is a detailed consideration of how cinematic staging carries the story, expresses emotion, and beguiles the audience through pictorial composition. Ranging over the entire history of cinema and illustrating his discussion with more than five hundred frame enlargements, David Bordwell focuses on four filmmakers’ unique contributions to the technique. In-depth chapters examine the films of Louis Feuillade, masters of the 1910s serial; Mizoguchi Kenji, the great Japanese director who worked from the 1920s to the 1950s; Theo Angelopoulos, who began his career as a political modernist in the late 1960s; and Hou Hsiao-hsien, the Taiwanese filmmaker who in the 1980s became the preeminent Asian director. For comparison, Bordwell draws on films by Howard hawks, Michelangelo Antonioni, Ozu Yasujiro, Kitano Takeshi, and many other directors. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 0520241975ID2: 291

Informal pieces, conversational in tone but grounded in three decades of authoritative research, the essays gathered here range from in-depth analyses of individual films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Inglourious Basterds to adjustments of Hollywood media claims and forays into cinematic humor. For Bordwell and Thompson, the most fruitful place to begin is how movies are made, how they work, and how they work on us. Written for film lovers, these essays- on topics ranging from Borat to blockbusters and back again - will delight current fans and gain new enthusiasts. Serious but not solemn, vibrantly informative without condescension, and above all illuminating reading, Minding Movies offers ideas sure to set film lovers thinking - and keep them returning to the silver screen.

The way Hollywood tells it : story and style in modern movies / David Bordwell Berkeley and Los Angeles, California: University of California Press, 2006.
Call No: 62 BORAuthor: Bordwell, David Edition: 2006Place: Berkeley and Los Angeles, CaliforniaPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2006Summary: Hollywood moviemaking is one of the constants of American life, but how much has it changed since the glory days of the big studios? David Bordwell argues that the principles of visual storytelling created in the studio era are alive and well, even in today’s bloated blockbusters. American filmmakers have created a durable tradition—one that we should not be ashamed to call artistic, and one that survives in both mainstream entertainment and niche-marketed indie cinema. Bordwell traces the continuity of this tradition in a wide array of films made since 1960, from romantic comedies like Jerry Maguire and Love Actually to more imposing efforts like A Beautiful Mind. He also draws upon testimony from writers, directors, and editors who are acutely conscious of employing proven principles of plot and visual style. Within the limits of the “classical” approach, innovation can flourish. Bordwell examines how imaginative filmmakers have pushed the premises of the system in films such as JFK, Memento, and Magnolia. He discusses generational, technological, and economic factors leading to stability and change in Hollywood cinema and includes close analyses of selected shots and sequences. As it ranges across four decades, examining classics like American Graffiti and The Godfather as well as recent success like The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, this book provides a vivid and engaging interpretation of how Hollywood moviemakers have created a vigorous, resourceful tradition of cinematic storytelling that continues to engage audiences around the world. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780520246225Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Beyond the Blockbuster -- part i: a real story -- 1.
