Description
Introduction to Cinematic Storytelling: From Hollywood Immersion to Avant-Garde Challengers covers the process by which the Hollywood "hypnosis" machine works and those who challenge that model. The first half of the anthology dives into the topics of the script, production design, cinematography, editing, sound design, and directing, and how they cohesively create a singular vision that makes the narrative film appear real, pulling the audience into the story world. The second half covers a key selection of avant-garde filmmakers and international cinema-those who challenge the Hollywood model to get their unique voices heard.
Readings by influential figures range from Aristotle to experimental filmmaker Maya Deren. They serve to introduce students to how and why the Hollywood storytelling model works in a systematic but engaging way. They also underscore the importance of challenging the Hollywood model to give students a unique perspective and voice for their own filmmaking practice and appreciation of different modes of filmmaking.
Introduction to Cinematic Storytelling expands the reader's understanding of how Hollywood films are made and the storytelling positioning that helps cast a movie spell over viewers of films and dramatic television. It is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in filmmaking and film appreciation.
