Producción Audiovisual Y Patrimonio: Hacia Un Régimen De Creación De Archivos Y Políticas De Acceso, Claudia Ferman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Me gustaría comenzar con una aclaración: como en todo trabajo sobre las industrias culturales y la producción audiovisual, se presentarán una serie de datos y hechos, un conjunto abigarrado de información. Los datos e imágenes que aquí se exponen son representativos de otros que se desarrollan en la misma dirección. Ahora bien, estos datos aparecerán muchas veces claramente enfrentados con nociones que son de conocimiento general, y que han sido ampliamente señaladas y discutidas; nociones como la naturaleza monopólica de la industria cinematográfica y audiovisual, la dependencia tecnológica de América Latina, la polaridad unidireccional de la industria audiovisual en el …

The Development Of Loop-Based Cinematic Techniques In Twentieth Century Motion Pictures And Their Application In Early Digital C, David Scoma

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For centuries, repetition in one form or another has been seen as a significant element in the artistic palette. In numerous formats of expression, duplication and looping became a significant tool utilized by artisans in a multitude of creative formats. Yet within the realm of film, the Griffith and Eisenstein models of cinematic editing techniques (as the most popular-- and near-monolithic--narrative aesthetic criteria) effectively disregarded most other approaches, including looping. Despite the evidence for the consistent use of repetition and looping in multiple ways throughout the course of cinematic history, some theorists and practitioners maintain that the influx of the …

Producing A Short Film, John Wiedenheft

Honors Program Theses

One reason is that the project provides a creative outlet for all of the different skills and knowledge learned through my Electronic Media and Film Studies courses. Such learned skills include the process of adapting a previously written short story into a screenplay, directing actors and a production crew through the various stages of producing a short film, and researching various modes of film distribution. A large portion of my Film Studies minor incorporates theory on the aesthetics of filmmaking, i.e. how storytelling in film is different from poetry or novels. My project will elucidate some of those aesthetics, such …

Lawrence Baron. Projecting The Holocaust Into The Present: The Changing Focus Of Contemporary Holocaust Cinema (Book Review), Kathrin M. Bower

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Projecting the Holocaust is a valuable addition to extant scholarship on Holocaust cinema and offers a refreshingly inclusive and positive take on how feature films contribute to our understanding of history. In contrast to other surveys of Holocaust cinema, Baron includes films that focus on stories of perpetrators, non-Jewish victims, the experiences of the second generation, and neo-Nazi groups. This inclusivity is also evident in Baron's position that the Holocaust is not the property of specific countries or peoples and that its representation speaks to universal concerns about human civilization as well as to particular questions about national identities.

The Filmmaker, The Subject And The Audience : A Dialectical Exploration Of Documentary Performance, Ben Stewart

Theses : Honours

Documentary filmmakers 11 engage directly in the study of the phenomena of life that surrounds us. We hold the ability to show and elucidate life as it is, considerably higher than the occasionally diverting droll games that people call theatre, cinema etc." (Vertov, 1984, p. 47). The ability to 'show and elucidate life as it is' is a controversial claim that the majority of academic documentary discussion is concerned with. I intend to add to this discussion through an exploration of performance and its pertinence to the ability of documentary to represent reality truthfully. The reception of documentary is significantly …

Rossellini, Open City, And Neorealism, Sidney Gottlieb

Communication, Media & The Arts Faculty Publications

Neorealism has been a source of inspiration and often heated debate, particularly in Italy but worldwide as well, for several generations of filmmakers, critics, theorists, and even politicians. It is one of the key interpretive contexts for Open City - and vice versa: the film made significant contributions to the articulation of neorealism and gives us important insight into Rossellini's particular involvement in this heterogenous and collaborative movement - or school, or genre, or cohort, or attitude, as it is variously described. school, or genre, or cohort, or attitude, as it is variously described.

Bright Lights, Small City: New Beginnings Of The Singapore Film Industry, Samantha W.M. Tan

Theses : Honours

The Singapore government decided in J9H5 that making movies and turning the country into a regional film centre was an ideal venture to help develop and sustain the country's economic growth. The nation has about 3.7 million people, and although English is studied as the first language, about half of the population (especially the older generation) are more well-versed in their mother tongue, ie. Chinese, Malay or Tamil. Because of this disparity, it would appear that the Singapore market doesn't have the critical mass to sustain a film industry unless the movies are made for export. Little has been written …

The Dynamics Of Proximity : Hitchcock's Cinema Of Claustrophobia, Scott Edward Peeler

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The implication of space in film is worth exploring in detail particularly with regard to the films of Alfred Hitchcock, since he is, perhaps more than any other filmmaker, concerned with the dynamics of proximity. Possibly because of his experience as a set designer on Graham Cutt’s silent films Woman to Woman (1922), The White Shadow (1923), The Passionate Adventure (1924), The Blackguard, and The Prude’s Fall (both 1925), Hitchcock very early in his career was faced with the task of expressing himself - without words - through setting, set shape, and room size. In Francois Truffaut's book, Hitchcock, the …
