Making Believe - Screen Performance and Special Effects in Popular Cinema

Informationen zum Autor Bode, Lisa Klappentext In the past twenty years, we have seen the rise of digital effects cinema in which the human performer is entangled with animation, collaged with other performers, or inserted into perilous or fantastic situations. Making Believe sheds light on these developments by historicizing screen performance within the context of special effects cinema and technological change in Hollywood filmmaking. Zusammenfassung With the rise of digital effects in cinema the human performer is increasingly the only “real” element on screen. Making Believe sheds new light on screen performance by historicizing it within the context of visual and special effects cinema and technological change in filmmaking, through the silent, early sound, and current digital eras.
