Book Synopsis Chronicle of a Camera by : Norris Pope
Download or read book Chronicle of a Camera written by Norris Pope and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces the North American history of this camera from 1945 through 1972--when the first lightweight, self-blimped 35mm cameras became available. Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film production, documenting the Arriflex's increasingly important role in expanding the range of production choices, styles, and even content of American motion pictures in this period. The book's exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s, including a number of films associated with what came to be known as the "Hollywood New Wave." The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex played an absolutely central role include Bullitt, The French Connection, and, most significantly, Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex for car-mounted shots, hand-held shots, and zoom-lens shots led to greater cinematic realism and personal expression.

Book excerpt: "In addition to the official photographs he turned over to his superiors, O'Donnell recorded some three hundred images for himself, but following his discharge from the Marines he could not bear to look at them. He put the negatives in a trunk that remained unopened until 1989, when he finally felt compelled to confront once more what he had seen through his lens during his seven months in post-war Japan." "Exhibited in Europe and Japan during the 1990s, O'Donnell's photographs were first published in book form in a 1995 Japanese edition. This edition, the first to appear in the United States, includes an additional twenty photographs and will bring O'Donnell's eloquent testament to the horrors of war to an even wider audience."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis A Familiar Strangeness by : Stuart Burrows
Download or read book A Familiar Strangeness written by Stuart Burrows and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-05-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary critics have traditionally suggested that the invention of photography led to the rise of the realist novel, which is believed to imitate the detail and accuracy of the photographic image. Instead, says Stuart Burrows, photography's influence on American fiction had less to do with any formal similarity between the two media than with the capacity of photography to render American identity and history homogeneous and reproducible. The camera, according to Burrows, provoked a representational crisis, one broadly modernist in character. Since the photograph is not only a copy of its subject but a physical product of it, the camera can be seen as actually challenging mimetic or realistic theories of representation, which depend on a recognizable gap between original and reproduction. Burrows argues for the centrality of photography to a set of writers commonly thought of as hostile to the camera-including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, William Faulkner, and Zora Neale Hurston. The photographic metaphors and allusions to the medium that appear throughout these writers' work demonstrate the ways in which one representational form actually influences another--by changing how artists conceive of identity, history, and art itself. A Familiar Strangeness thus challenges the notion of an absolute break between nineteenth-century realism and twentieth-century modernism, a break that typically centers precisely on the two movements' supposedly differing relation to the camera. Just as modernist fiction interrupts and questions the link between visuality and knowledge, so American realist fiction can be understood as making the world less knowable precisely by making it more visible.

Book Synopsis Literature, Cinema and Politics 1930-1945 by : Lara Feigel
Download or read book Literature, Cinema and Politics 1930-1945 written by Lara Feigel and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of a generation of writers who were passionately engaged with politics and with cinema, exploring the rise and fall of a distinct tradition of cinematic literature. Dismayed by the rise of fascism in Europe and by the widening gulf separating the classes at home, these writers turned to cinema as a popular and hard-hitting art form. Lara Feigel crosses boundaries between high modernism and social realism and between 'high' and 'popular' culture, bringing together Virginia Woolf with W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bowen with John Sommerfield, Sergei Eisenstein with Gracie Fields. The book ends in the Second World War, an era when the bombs and searchlights rendered everyday life cinematic. Feigel interrogates the genres she maps, drawing on cultural theories from the 1920s onwards to investigate the nature of the cinematic and the literary. While it was not possible directly to transfer the techniques of the screen to the page any more than it was possible to 'go over' to the working classes, the attempts nonetheless reveal a fascinating intersection of the visual and the verbal, the political and the aesthetic. In reading between the frames of an unexplored literary tradition, this book redefines 1930s and wartime literature and politics.

Book Synopsis Born Free and Equal by : Ansel Adams
Download or read book Born Free and Equal written by Ansel Adams and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are three editions of this book:1. The facsimile edition, a photocopy of the original book (this edition).2. A re-created edition, newly typeset and with high-quality images scanned from Adams's original prints.3. An eBook, based on the re-created edition.Ansel Adams visited Manzanar at the invitation of his friend, Ralph Merritt, its second director. He published about 65 of his photographs in a 1944 book, "Born Free and Equal," which was generally reviled, even burned, as the War was still ongoing.Adams didn't renew the copyright on the book and turned all of his Manzanar negatives and prints over to the Library of Congress. The LoC website has digital images of all 112 pages of the book, but the scanning was poorly done. I straightened the pages and cropped them slightly to fit the page size of this edition, but did not otherwise alter them in any way. This edition is exactly the same as the original, although it may be of a different physical size, as I don't know the size of the original.Copies of the original book are extremely rare and, judging from the one that the LoC scanned, even their copy is in terrible condition. This edition will make the book more accessible.To keep the cost of this book as low as possible, the resolution of the printed pages is fairly coarse, but it's still quite readable and provides the same reading experience as the original book. The re-created edition, at a higher price, is of correspondingly higher quality.
