'In the digital era, the finished photograph can be as much about what you do to it in post-production, on a comupter, as shooting it in the first place...'--Cover.
Most moviegoers think of editing and special effects as distinct components of the filmmaking process. We might even conceive of them as polar opposites, since effective film editing is often subtle and almost invisible, whereas special effects frequently call attention to themselves. Yet, film editors and visual effects artists have worked hand-in-hand from the dawn of cinema to the present day. Editing and Special/Visual Effects brings together a diverse range of film scholars who trace how the arts of editing and effects have evolved in tandem. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate how these two crafts have been integral to cinematic history, starting with the “trick films” of the early silent era, which astounded audiences by splicing in or editing out key frames, all the way up to cutting-edge effects technologies and concealed edits used to create the illusions. Throughout, readers learn about a variety of filmmaking techniques, from classic Hollywood’s rear projection and matte shots to the fast cuts and wall-to-wall CGI of the contemporary blockbuster. In addition to providing a rich historical overview, Editing and Special/Visual Effects supplies multiple perspectives on these twinned crafts, introducing readers to the analog and digital tools used in each craft, showing the impact of changes in the film industry, and giving the reader a new appreciation for the processes of artistic collaboration they involve.
Annotation Michelle Perkins explores ways of producing interesting - even surprising - photographic effects. Beginning with techniques for digital cameras, she shows readers how to use 'incorrect' exposures to produce some striking images and how poor focus can be consciously applied for dramatic results. Also covered are tips for photographing reflections for pleasingly distorted or abstract images, presenting extreme close-up views of subjects and more. Perkins then moves on to demonstrate how to use basic digital imaging software to take images to the next levels.
