Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Film Editing
Book SynopsisFilm editing is part of the long process of formulating, acquiring and presenting the images and sounds that make a film. The film editor makes decisions about the arrangement of the visual and aural material that they receive in the cutting room, not for their own satisfaction but to stimulate the participation of the cinema and television viewer. Three interrelated aspects, Emotion, Performance and Story, influence this decision-making. Combining history, practice, study and theory, Film Editing: Emotion, Performance, Story investigates why certain editorial decisions can encourage the emotional and narrative engagement of the audience. With full-color examples from features, short films and commercials, this book introduces a range of different editing styles and techniques to provide editors with a context on which to build their practice.Julie Lambden takes a discursive approach exploring the many options open to the editor whether this is the fine point at which to cut or Trade ReviewLambden’s book will enhance [readers’] knowledge of the art, the veritable alchemy, of film editing. * Cineaste Magazine *Julie Lambden astutely takes the lid off the complexities and alchemy of film editing and effortlessly leads us to an understanding of all aspects of the narrative power that editing and montage can release.

McFarland & Co Inc Star Trek and the British Age of Sail
Book Synopsis Clear all moorings, one-half impulse power and set course for a mare incognitum... A popular culture artifact of the New Frontier/Space Race era, Star Trek is often mistakenly viewed as a Space Western. However, the Western format is not what governs the worldbuilding of Star Trek, which was, after all, also pitched as Hornblower in space. Star Trek is modeled on the world of the British Golden Age of Sail as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. This book re-historicizes and remaps the origins of the franchise and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world--the Star Trek continuum--on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.

Orion Publishing Co A Light in the Dark: A History of Movie Directors
Book SynopsisIn little more than a century of cinema - Birth of a Nation was one hundred years old in 2015 - our sense of what a film director is, or should be, has shifted in fascinating ways. A director was once a functionary; then an important but not decisive part of an industrial process; then accepted as the person who was and should be in charge, because he was an artist and a hero. But the world has changed. In a nutshell, the change takes the form of a question: Who directed The Sopranos or Homeland? Hardly anyone knows, because we don't tend to read TV credits and the director has returned to a more subservient and anonymous role. Directors now try to be efficient, the deliverers of profitable films, and are often involved as producers, like Steven Spielberg.David Thomson's brilliant A Light in the Dark personalises each chapter through an individual: Jean Renoir, Howard Hawks, Jean-Luc Godard, Alfred Hitchcock, Luis Bunuel, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, Jane Campion, Stephen Frears and Quentin Tarantino. Through these characters (and other directors not mentioned here), David Thomson relates an imaginative new history of a medium that has changed the world.Trade ReviewIt took over my life for two days. It is a summary of cinema and a requiem. Love and sadness. A prodigious masterwork. * John Boorman, director of DELIVERANCE and HOPE AND GLORY *Compulsive reading: thoughtful and thought-provoking in equal measure. David Thomson's knowledge is comprehensive and his response to all films humane and entirely uncorrupted by the conventional hagiography of so much writing about film. He's engagingly unafraid of challenging received opinion * Richard Eyre *David Thomson has spent his life thinking hard and deep about cinema, and so he's uniquely placed to write this lovely, brutal book about the glory of being a film-maker and vainglory of being an auteur * David Hare *Fizzing . . . It has that sense of live debate that's so inimical to social media's village green . . . Invaluable * Sight & Sound *With this dynamic book, Thomson is big enough to follow the cry of "action!" wherever it leads * Sunday Times *Forensic and stimulating . . . There is much new thinking, taking into account changes in both film criticism and society -- Barry Forshaw * The i, A Book of the Year *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Character is Structure: The Insider’s Guide to
Book SynopsisThis book seeks to reshape the way that writers think about constructing their story, looking at the subject from the inside out. Often practitioners and theorists examine work through the separate lenses of character and/or structure and then bring them together. Within this book, authors Hughes and Wilkes argue that character is structure and one without the other makes for a dissatisfying narrative. Through detailed case studies on films that span all genres, from mainstream franchises like The Hunger Games (2012-2015) and Shrek (2001-2010) to art house films such as Toto Le Heros (1991) and Eraserhead (1977), the authors reveal the dramatic imperative behind the central choices or dilemmas faced by every protagonist in every classic feature length narrative. They argue there is only one of five choices that any writer must make in inventing that key transition from the protagonist’s ordinary world into the adventure that will form the heart of their story. Using the universal language of folk and fairy stories, this book gives writers and students a clear framework through which they can reference and improve their own storytelling. In doing so, it enables both the novice and experienced screenwriter to tell their story in the most authentic and impactful way, while keeping their protagonist at the heart of the narrative.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION 1.
