In The Zoom, Nick Hall traces the century-spanning history of the zoom lens in American film and television. From late 1920s silent features to the psychedelic experiments of the 1960s and beyond, the book describes how inventors battled to provide film and television studios with practical zoom lenses, and how cinematographers clashed over the right ways to use the new zooms. Hall demonstrates how the zoom brought life and energy to cinema decades before the zoom boom of the 1970s and reveals how the zoom continues to play a vital and often overlooked role in the production of contemporary film and television. 410 0$aTechniques of the moving image. 606 $aZoom lens photography$xHistory 606 $aZoom lenses$xHistory 606 $aCinematography$xSpecial effects$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAlfred Hitchcock. 610 $aAmerican. 610 $aMichael Snow. 610 $aVertigo. 610 $aWavelength. 610 $afilm. 610 $atelevision. 610 $azoom lens. 610 $azoom. 615 0$aZoom lens photography$xHistory. 615 0$aZoom lenses$xHistory. 615 0$aCinematography$xSpecial effects$xHistory. 676 $a790.2 700 $aHall$b Nick, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0251381 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813049303321 996 $aThe Zoom$93913443 997 $aUNINA
