Synopsis
Deals with the emotional aspect of viewing films, focusing on well-known films that are particularly and popularly powerful Accessible in three ways: in style, in content (being about popular films and TV shows across all genres and that most readers will already know) and it's methodology bridges film theory and practice While focused mainly on films and TV, it also connects forms of storytelling to figurative paintings and sculpture, epic poems, plays and video-games, In this book we learn that there is a clear but complex relationship between setting and character on screen. Certain settings stand out above others--think of the iconic gooey dripping tunnels that Ripley stumbles through in Aliens , Norman's bird-decorated parlour in Psycho or the dark Gotham of certain Batman movies. But what makes these particular settings so powerful and iconic? Amedeo D'Adamo explains why we care about and cry for certain characters, and then focuses on how certain places then become windows onto their emotional lives. Using popular case studies such as Apocalypse Now, Amelie, Homeland and The Secret Garden , this original and insightful book is the first to really explain what makes some settings so effective, revealing an important but as yet uncovered machinery of empathy in visual narrative space. An invaluable resource for students, academics and indeed young filmmakers designing their very own narratives for space on screen.
