It is time, she says, to rethink the function of digital visual effects." "Digital Storytelling is grounded in filmmaking, the scriptwriting process in particular. McClean considers crucial questions about digital visual effects - whether they undermine classical storytelling structure, if they always call attention to themselves, whether their use is limited to certain genres - and looks at contemporary films (including a chapter-long analysis of Steven Spielberg's use of computer-generated effects) and contemporary film theory to find the answers. McClean argues that to consider digital visual effects as simply contributing the "wow" factor underestimates them. They are, she writes, the legitimate inheritors of film storycraft."--Jacket. 606 $aCinematography$xSpecial effects 606 $aDigital video 606 $aDigital cinematography 606 $aMotion picture authorship 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCinematography$xSpecial effects. 615 0$aDigital video. 615 0$aDigital cinematography. 615 0$aMotion picture authorship. 676 $a791.4302/4 700 $aMcClean$b Shilo T$0625115 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461074403321 996 $aDigital storytelling$91096139 997 $aUNINA
