Making Believe

Screen Performance and Special Effects in Popular Cinema

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
