JAMES WONG HOWE: CINEMATOGRAPHER is a unique book. It is the only in-depth, critical investigation of the work of any cinematographer. Traditionally, film criticism has focused on the director as the sole creator of filmic images, when, in truth, the director of photography often makes a greater contribution to the visuals of a film. This book demonstrates the significance of the cinematographer's art by analyzing the work of Hollywood's most celebrated cameraman: James Wong Howe. Author Todd Rainsberger traces the evolution of Howe's photographic style through more than 50 years of the American cinema. From 1922 until 1974, Howe photographed 125 films. Howe's career parallels the pictorial history of film: from the hand-cranked cameras of the twenties, through the studio years of the thirties and forties, to the turmoil of television and wide screen in the fifties, and the dominance of color in the sixties. In studying Howe's work, the book relates the technical and creative history of American cinematography. And it does so in an authoritative yet readable narrative illustrated with more than one hundred high-impact photos of Howe at work and stills from his films. Though dealing primarily with cinematography, JAMES WONG HOWE: CINEMATOGRAPHER is written for anyone with a general interest in film. The book thoroughly explores the real process of making movies, not the glamour side. It shows the side that is revealed only on a movie set - where creative imagination is transformed, through the mechanics of photography, into vital, meaningful images. James Wong Howe was a master at creating powerful, emotional images. To discover Howe the artist, Dr. Rainsberger researched Howe's life and work for two years. He analyzed his films frame by frame, pieced together Howe's philosophy as evidenced in his interviews, letters and scattered writings. He also conducted illuminating interviews with many of the men who had worked closely with Howe, including Howard Hawks, Martin Ritt, John Cromwell, Daniel Mann, Alexander Mackendrick, John Frankenheimer, Lee Garmes, George Folsey, John Alonzo and Haskell Wexler. As a result of this research, the thinking process of a great director of photography is explained in relation to the effects produced on he screen. Codice articolo 002950

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
