Summary: What does it mean to regard cinema as technology? How do special effects change our experience of contemporary film? How important is the Internet to the film industry and film fans? CineTech explores these debates and examines the important intersection between film and new media. Providing a comprehensive introduction to the digital practices used in film, this book moves from historical perspectives to up-to-date analysis. Applying these debates through specific case studies, examples are drawn from recent Hollywood blockbusters such as the Star Wars prequels and the Matrix trilogy. Case studies, exercises, and suggestions for further study make this an ideal resource for courses and student assignments in both film and media studies.

Summary: "Focusing on industrial and commercial concerns, questions of aesthetics and form, and the cultural debates surrounding nation and identity, the book surveys the full range of filmmaking in New Zealand. It displays the rich diversity of film production in the country, and in doing so highlights a number of specific contexts - Maori, documentary and short filmmaking, literary adaptations, the development of the national Film Commission and Archive, marketing and censorship, in addition to explorations into the place of bicultural relations, spirituality, masculinity and disability - that have created a cinema of global significance. Featuring critical accounts of internationally-acclaimed features like The Piano and Once Were Warriors, as well as the growth of the national infrastructure that made such films possible, Contemporary New Zealand Cinema is the most thorough study available of a vibrant filmmaking culture. The book also includes a fully comprehensive filmography detailing all New Zealand feature and television films."--BOOK JACKET

Summary: "In writing The Frodo Franchise: "The Lord of the Rings" and Modern Hollywood, Kristin Thompson enjoyed unprecedented access to the project's insiders. She interviewed seventy-six people - from Peter Jackson to fan webmasters to producers of the video games to directors of the DVD supplements to tour operators in New Zealand, among many others. She spent weeks on site while the third part of the trilogy was being finished - the ultimate inside vantage point - and the resulting book captures the full dimensions of the struggle to get Rings to the screen." "Thompson examines the movie's scripting and design as well as the new technologies deployed to produce the films and the all-important videogames and DVDs. She recounts how Jackson, then a little-known director with no hits to his credit, made the startling suggestion of shooting all three epic parts of J. R. R.Tolkien's classic simultaneously and how Jackson then, in realizing his vision, enormously expanded a few small companies into a world-class filmmaking complex. She profiles the fans whose websites provided the film with a wealth of free publicity. Thompson's own enthusiasm - she is a longtime devotee of the novels - and her expertise as a respected film historian underlie her discussion of the impact Rings has had on the companies that made the film and its related products, on the fantasy genre, on New Zealand, and, surprisingly, on independent cinema."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "This book retrieves the lost literary treasures that inspired eight popular films. Prompted by the widespread success of these films, Gabriel Miller here re-evaluates the careers of the eight neglected novelists whose works inspired eight different directors - among them Sidney Lumet, Stanley Kubrick, John Huston, and Sidney Pollack. Each chapter offers a detailed interpretation of a particular film, its literary source, and the overall career of the novelist [...] Some of these interesting novels have never been dealt with at all; others have only recently attracted critical attention. The films, too, benefit from extended reassessment. Despite the fact that the movies were successful, moreso than the novels, they have attracted little in the way of useful analysis. Taken together, the double examination of the novel and film raises some important questions about the nature and problems of cinematic adaptation." -- BOOK BLURB
