Beschreibungen/Notizen

• While covering the technologies that enabled camera movement and the aesthetic debates that shaped the controversial technique, The Dynamic Frame shows how Hollywood filmmakers used the device for a surprisingly wide range of purposes: not just to follow figures walking across the screen, but also to mimic characters' subjective states, to play narrative games of concealment and revelation, and to comment on the dynamism and seriality of contemporary American life. The book contributes new perspectives on Monroe's films in the context of postwar American culture by placing them in conversation with cultural discussions about gender roles and marriage, female sexuality, and the merits of the method approach to acting. Adaptations in the Franchise Era articulates the special relationship between film adaptations and media franchises in the fifteen years between the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)-a decade-and-a-half defined by the logic of content, convergence, and world building, in which multipart series drawn from preexisting properties dominated the US box office.
