Each effect is rich in symbolism, evoking a world of danger and doppelgangers. But what happens if we set aside the symbolism? This book offers a new account of film noir lighting, grounded in a larger theory of Hollywood cinematography as emotionally engaging storytelling. Above all, noir lighting is dynamic, switching from darkness to brightness and back again as characters change, locations shift, and fates unfold. Richly illustrated, Film Noir and the Arts of Lighting features in-depth analyses of eleven classic movies: The Asphalt Jungle, Sorry, Wrong Number, Odds against Tomorrow, The Letter, I Wake Up Screaming, Phantom Lady, Strangers on a Train, Sweet Smell of Success, Gaslight, Secret beyond the Door, and Touch of Evil.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 454gAuthor: Patrick KeatingGenre: Films & TVBook Series: Techniques of the Moving ImageTopic: Arts & Photography, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
