Book excerpt: Narrative is one of the fundamental ways in which humans organize information. 3D virtual environments provide a compelling new medium for creating and sharing nar- ratives. In pre-rendered virtual environments like animated movies, directors communicate complex narratives by carefully constructing them shot-by-shot. To do this, a film's director exploits the viewer's familiarity with narrative patterns and cinematic idioms to effectively convey a structured story. In real-time environments like games and training simulations, however, a system has much less control over the stories that need to be told, since often novel stories are constructed on demand and tailored to a specific session or user's needs. In many contexts, stories are built not solely by the system, but collaboratively with many users whose choices for action contribute to the construction of unanticipated narrative structure. In the past, intelligent cinematography systems have been developed to automat- ically record the actions of users within a virtual world and then to construct coherent visualizations that communicate these action sequences. While these systems generate co- herent visualizations, they do not attempt to address the careful construction of narrative discourse based on established and identifiable patterns of narrative communication. Cur- rent automated camera systems take into account local coherence of shots and transitions but do not address the rhetorical coherence of the communication across multiple shots. I describe an end-to-end camera planning system - Darshak - that constructs visual narrative discourse of a given story in a 3D virtual environment. Darshak uses a hierar- chical partial order causal link planning algorithm to generate narrative plans that contain both story and camera actions. Dramatic situation patterns commonly used by writers of fictional narratives and endorsed by narrative theorists are formalized as communicative plan operators that provide a basi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich programme of ICIDS 2009, comprising invited talks, technical pres- tations and posters, demonstrations, and co-located post-conference workshops clearly underscores the event’s status as premier international meeting in the domain. It thereby con?rms the decision taken by the Constituting Committee of the conference series to take the step forward: out of the national cocoons of its precursors, ICVS and TIDSE, and towards an itinerant platform re?ecting its global constituency. This move re?ects the desire and the will to take on the challenge to stay on the lookout, critically re?ect upon and integrate views and ideas,?ndingsandexperiences,andtopromoteinterdisciplinaryexchange,while ensuring overall coherence and maintaining a sense of direction. This is a signi?cant enterprise: The challenges sought are multifarious and must be addressed consistently at all levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Subject of Film and Race is the first comprehensive intervention into how film critics and scholars have sought to understand cinema's relationship to racial ideology. In attempting to do more than merely identify harmful stereotypes, research on 'films and race' appropriates ideas from post-structuralist theory. But on those platforms, the field takes intellectual and political positions that place its anti-racist efforts at an impasse. While presenting theoretical ideas in an accessible way, Gerald Sim's historical materialist approach uniquely triangulates well-known work by Edward Said with the Neo-Marxian writing about film by Theodor Adorno and Fredric Jameson. The Subject of Film and Race takes on topics such as identity politics, multiculturalism, multiracial discourse, and cyborg theory, to force film and media studies into rethinking their approach, specifically towards humanism and critical subjectivity. The book illustrates theoretical discussions with a diverse set of familiar films by John Ford, Michael Mann, Todd Solondz, Quentin Tarantino, Keanu Reeves, and others, to show that we must always be aware of capitalist history when thinking about race, ethnicity, and films.

Download or read book Israeli Cinema written by Miri Talmon and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With top billing at many film forums around the world, as well as a string of prestigious prizes, including consecutive nominations for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, Israeli films have become one of the most visible and promising cinemas in the first decade of the twenty-first century, an intriguing and vibrant site for the representation of Israeli realities. Yet two decades have passed since the last wide-ranging scholarly overview of Israeli cinema, creating a need for a new, state-of-the-art analysis of this exciting cinematic oeuvre. The first anthology of its kind in English, Israeli Cinema: Identities in Motion presents a collection of specially commissioned articles in which leading Israeli film scholars examine Israeli cinema as a prism that refracts collective Israeli identities through the medium and art of motion pictures. The contributors address several broad themes: the nation imagined on film; war, conflict, and trauma; gender, sexuality, and ethnicity; religion and Judaism; discourses of place in the age of globalism; filming the Palestinian Other; and new cinematic discourses. The authors' illuminating readings of Israeli films reveal that Israeli cinema offers rare visual and narrative insights into the complex national, social, and multicultural Israeli universe, transcending the partial and superficial images of this culture in world media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a framework for automatic generation of cinematic discourse of a dynamic story. The motivation of this research is provided by the need for more expressive camera control in the current dynamic story generation systems and the lack of formal research in the area of visual discourse processing/generation systems. Film directors and cinematographers have developed effective visual storytelling techniques. They have also articulated various rules for conveying the story to the viewer. The stereotypical ways of filming shot sequences are termed as Idioms. This thesis begins to formalize film idioms as plan operators, augmented with the intentional goals of the director, that represent communicative acts analogus to speech acts used in traditional natural language discourse planning systems. Discourse processing/planning systems have focused on generation of natural language discourse. This is an attempt to extend this research to the generation of visual discourse. The main questions that are addressed in this thesis are: • How does a visual communicative act change the model of the viewer and how can this be encoded in a formalism? • How can the presentation of a scene/shot relate to the actions taking place in the story world and the information being conveyed to the viewer about the story world? • What are the syntax and semantics of the visual medium of communication as they are specified by legal plan structures? I present a study of film idioms and their formalization as plan operators followed by a formal description of the viewer model used by the system. Next, I discuss the representation of the story world plan that is communicated to the viewer by the discourse planner and a formal definition of the extended discourse planning algorithm. Finally, a sample scenario for the communicative plan generated by the discourse planner written in Lisp and executed on the Unreal Tournament 2003(UT) game engine used as a visualizer.

Download or read book Telecinematic Discourse written by Roberta Piazza and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cutting-edge collection of articles provides the first organised reflection on the language of films and television series across British, American and Italian cultures. The volume suggests new directions for research and applications, and offers a variety of methodologies and perspectives on the complexities of "telecinematic" discourse – a hitherto virtually unexplored area of investigation in linguistics. The papers share a common vision of the big and small screen: the belief that the discourses of film and television offer a re-presentation of our world. As such, telecinematic texts reorganise and recreate language (together with time and space) in their own way and with respect to specific socio-cultural conventions and media logic. The volume provides a multifaceted, yet coherent insight into the diegetic – as it revolves around narrative – as opposed to mimetic – as referring to other non-narrative and non-fictional genres – discourses of fictional media. The collection will be of interest to researchers, tutors and students in pragmatics, stylistics, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, communication studies and related fields.

Download or read book Interactional Approach to Cinematic Discourse written by Neda Chepinchikj and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses and describes a segment of Woody Allen’s cinematic discourse, focusing specifically on the performed (or diegetic) interactions between actors in various roles in some of his films. It is a case study of Woody Allen's cinematic discourse, encompassing the on-screen, performed interaction in the films at the level of the story-world. The analysis focuses on speech (film dialogues), in both its verbal and prosodic forms, as well as non-verbal types of interaction including gaze and gesture, taking a social interactional approach and using multimodal conversation analysis as a theoretical framework and analytical tool. The 'texts' under study are segments from five films by Woody Allen, and the analysed interactions take place between male and female interactants, which allows further examination of on-screen interactions via a gender lens. The book aims to bridge the gap between the disciplines of applied linguistics and cinema studies and offer linguistic insights into performed interactions from a multimodal point of view. It will be equally relevant to linguists who are interested in how verbal and non-verbal language is used in cinematic discourse, as well as to film workers, especially actors, directors and screenwriters.

Download or read book Redefining a New Cinema written by Tonghong Cai and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese cinema has developed over decades along a chain of generations shaped by rapid changes in the topography of history, politics, society, culture, and film aesthetics. A new generation of Chinese filmmakers emerged in the early 1990s, with audacious experiments and innovations attempted to defy the conventions of filmmaking and cinematic language. The controversial image of Chinese independent films has been defined, redefined, shaped, and reshaped over the last twenty years. This comprehensive book covers the history of Chinese independent films from the early 1990s to the present and provides a new perspective on the textual analysis of contemporary Chinese films. Tonghong Cai explores five kinds of text, including historical and sociocultural, cinematic, narrative, musical, and parodic text, and discusses the features of the writerly text which contribute to the new-generation films'avant-garde nature and their position as a new cinema. This book is a good reference source for scholars and readers who are interested in contemporary Chinese cinema, film narrative, popular music and postmodernism.

Download or read book Telecinematic Stylistics written by Christian Hoffmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, the study of discourse in film and television has become one of the most promising research avenues in stylistics and pragmatics due to the dazzling variety of source material and the huge pragmatic range within it. Meanwhile, with the advent of streaming and the box set, film and television themselves are becoming separated by an increasingly blurred line. This volume closes a long-standing gap in stylistics research, bringing together a book-level pragmastylistic showcase. It presents current developments from the field from two complementary perspectives, looking stylistically at the discourse in film and the discourse of and around film. This latter phrase comes to mean the approaches which try to account for the pragmatic effects induced by cinematography. This might be the camera work or the lighting, or the mise en scène or montage. The volume takes a multimodal approach, looking at word, movement and gesture, in keeping with modern stylistics. The volume shows how pragmatic themes and methods are adapted and applied to films, including speech acts, (im)politeness, implicature and context. In this way, it provides systematic insights into how meanings are displayed, enhanced, suppressed and negotiated in both film and televisual arts.

Download or read book Film Discourse Interpretation written by Janina Wildfeuer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the analysis of film from a multimodal and textual perspective by extending formal semantics into the realm of multimodal discourse analysis. It accounts for both the inferential as well as intersemiotic meaning making processes in filmic discourse and therefore addresses one of the main questions that have been asked within film theory and multimodal analysis: How do we understand film and multimodal texts? The book offers an analytical answer to this question by providing a systematic tool for the description of this comprehension process. It aims to advance knowledge of the various resources in filmic texts, the ways the resources work together in constructing meaning and the ways people understand this meaning construction. This new approach to film interpretation is thus able to remodel and improve the classical paradigm of film text analysis.
