Live Cinema and Its Techniques

Live Cinema and Its Techniques

From a master of cinema comes this â€œgold mine of a book . . . a rocket ride to the potential futureâ€ of filmmaking (Walter Murch).

Celebrated as an â€œexhilarating accountâ€ of a revolutionary new medium (Booklist), Francis Ford Coppolaâ€™s indispensable guide to live cinema is a boon for moviegoers, film students, and teachers alike. As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one directorâ€”or by a collaborative team onlineâ€” it is only a matter of time before cinema auteurs will create â€œliveâ€ movies to be broadcast instantly in faraway theaters. â€œPeppered with brilliant personal observationsâ€ (Wendy Doniger), Live Cinema and Its Techniques offers a behind-the-scenes look at a consummate career: from Coppolaâ€™s formative boyhood obsession with live 1950s television shows and later attempts to imitate the spontaneity of live performance on set, the book usefully includes a guide to presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from rehearsals to equipment. A testament to Coppolaâ€™s prodigious enthusiasm for reinvigorating the form, Live Cinema is an indispensable guide that â€œreenergizes . . . the search for a new way of storytellingâ€ (William Friedkin).
