book		The dynamic frame : camera movement in classical Hollywood / Patrick Keating New York; Chichester, UK: Columbia University Press, Call No: 233.6(73) KEA Author: Keting, Patrick Edition: 2019 Place: New York; Chichester, UK Publisher: Columbia University Press PhysDes: xi,350 pages : illustrated ; 24 cm Subject: 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 site ISBN: 9780231190510 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Call No: 631.21 BOR Author: Bordwell, David Source: US Place: Berkeley, Calif. Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 2005 PhysDes: 314 p. : 25 cm Subject: 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: 0520241975 ID2: 291 More info

Jacobs looks at the rhythmic dimensions of performance and sound in a diverse set of case studies: the Eisenstein-Prokofiev collaboration Ivan the Terrible, Disney's Silly Symphonies and early Mickey Mouse cartoons, musicals by Lubitsch and Mamoulian.- from Publisher website.

Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher description Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780822342892 Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson -- Making Cinema Knowable -- Cinema Studies and the Conduct of Conduct / Lee Grieveson Taking Liberties: The Payne Fund Studies and the Creation of the Media Expert / Mark Lynn Anderson "Reaching the Multimillions": Liberal Internationalism and the Establishment of Documentary Film / Zoe Druick Young Art, Old Colleges: Early Episodes in the American Study of Film / Dana Polan -- Making Cinema Educational -- Studying Movies at the Museum: The Museum of Modern Art and Cinema's Changing Object / Haidee Wasson Classrooms, Clubs, and Community Circuits: Cultural Authority and the Film Council Movement, 1946-1957 / Charles R.

(US, Frank Tashlin, 1957) Summary: With the likes of Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, and Frank Tashlin revelling in "monkeys, babies, beautiful blondes, money, and cruelty" in their signature films of the 1950s, this seemingly conformist period turns out to be one of the most dynamic and original eras in Hollywood history. What distinguishes these directors is their candid and amusing exploration of cultural anxieties in carnival form.

book		The men who mad the movies : interviews with Frank Capra, George Cukor, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Vincente Minnelli, King Vidor, Raoul Walsh, and William A. Wellman New York: Atheneum, 1975. Call No: 802.25 SCH Edition: 1975 Place: New York Publisher: Atheneum PubDate: 1975 PhysDes: x, 308 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm Subject: DIRECTORS; CAPRA, FRANK; HAWKS, HOWARD; HITCHCOCK, ALFRED; MINNELLI, VINCENTE; VIDOR, KING; WALSH, RAOUL; WELLMAN, WILLIAM Summary: [This book] evolved from the memorable television series that was named by the New York Times as one of the outstanding television programs of 1973. Eight directors were encouraged by Schickel to reminisce about their working lives, which spanned the most intriguing decades of American film. In speaking with them, he found in these men a special quality: 'They felt in their bones the character and quality of a vanished America.' There was something valuable to be learned from them, not merely about the cinema, but about the conduct of life. They would, as Schickel says, be worthy of study even 'if they had been engaged in the manufacture of widgets, let alone something as intrinsically interesting as movies.' Each director created a canon of work that even today sustains critical analysis without sacrificing popular appeal. Moreover, each maintained his artistic integrity while working in an atmosphere generally credited with ruining rather than nurturing talent--Hollywood. The format of these interviews allows the directors to talk about preplanned issues without interruption. And the topics discussed deal with the directors' lives and attitudes rather than with the technical nature of their work; in fact, any questions which seemed too specifically technical were often greeted by them with snorts of contempt. The book is rich in behind-the-scenes stories about such modern classics as 'It Happened One Night', 'Dawn Patrol', 'The Champ', 'Born Yesterday', 'Father of the Bride', 'Shadow of a Doubt', and 'The Roaring Twenties', as well as in anecdotes about the lives of men who not only 'made the movies' but who made Hollywood the glamour capital of the world. -- publisher's blurb ISBN: 9780689106316 Donation: Paul Anderson More info

His witty, incisive criticism later worked exacting language into an exploration of the feelings and strategies that went into low-budget and radical films as diverse as Michael Snow's Wavelength, Werner Herzog's Fata Morgana, and Shantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman.

Provocative essays discuss the work both of established auteur directors such as Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock as well as the filmmaking careers of such experimental moviemakers as William Burroughs and Viking Eggeling, the dadaist pioneer of abstract film. The collection also includes fascinating studies of a number of film classics, such as John Huston's Freud, Jean Renoir's Rules of the Game and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.". "Paris Hollywood suggests new approaches to thinking about film and many unexpected connections between film studies and the history of such strangely related activities as espionage, psychoanalysis, dance, architecture, anthropology, Stalinism, love of speed and digital technology. Wollen's book is based on the premise that there are no fixed ways of writing about the cinema but, rather, a plethora of paths leading in very different directions, each contributing to a new understanding of the 20th century's major art form."--BOOK JACKET Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexes Includes filmography ISBN: 1859843913 Contents: -- 1: an alphabet of Cinema -- Part 1: directors and filmmakers -- 2: guerilla conditions: the cinema of William Seward Burroughs -- 3: viking eggeling -- 4: who the hell is Howard Hawks? -- 5: hitch: a tale of two cities (London and Los Angeles) -- 6: JLG -- 7: Jean Rouch -- part 2: films and movements -- 8: Freud as adventurer -- 9: Blade Runner -- 10: spies ansd spivs: an anglo-austrian engagement -- 11: rules of the game -- 12: the last new wave -- 13: riff-raff realism -- 14: architecture and film: places and non-places -- 15: the canon -- 16: time in film and video art -- 17: mismatches (& Acousmetres) -- 18 back to the future -- 19: speed and the cinema -- notes -- film-makers/director index -- filmography -- general index -- More info

It recreates for us movies we've come to love: movies the way they were when, in 1934, four in particular - IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, TWENTIETH CENTURE, THE THIN MAN, and THE GAY DIVORCEE - heralded the arrival of the golden age of Hollywood romantic ("screwball") comedy. Over the next ten years, some of Hollywood's brightest directors and stars turned out some of America's most enduring and beloved films. The screwballs - slangy, irreverent, playful, skeptical, and "powerfully, glamorously in love with love" - constitute a genre of American film unique in its combination of the innocent and the worldly, of swank and slapstick. Now critic James Harvey - writing with brilliance and humor - gives us the first truly comprehensive book about these movies and the people who made them."
