Those Ordinary "Special Effects" -- Franc?ois Albera 330 $aSince the very first days of cinema, audiences have marveled at the special effects imagery presented on movie screens. While long relegated to the margins of film studies, special effects have recently become the object of a burgeoning field of scholarship. With the emergence of a digital cinema, and the development of computerized visual effects, film theorists and historians have been reconsidering the traditional accounts of cinematic representation, recognising the important role of special effects. Understood as a constituent part of the cinema, special effects are a major technical but also aesthetic component of filmmaking and an important part of the experience for the audience. In this volume, new directions are charted for the exploration of this indispensable aspect of the cinematic experience. Each of the essays in this collection offers new insight into the theoretical and historical study of special effects. The contributors address the many aspects of special effects, from a variety of perspectives, considering them as a conceptual problem, recounting the history of specific special effects techniques, and analysing notable effects films. 410 0$aCinema and technology (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 606 $aCinematography$xSpecial effects$xHistory 615 0$aCinematography$xSpecial effects$xHistory. 676 $a778.5345 702 $aLefebvre$b Martin 702 $aFurstenau$b Marc$f1963- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796059403321 996 $aSpecial Effects on the Screen$93671741 997 $aUNINA
