This text, however, appropriate for film production courses, fills that void, opening the production process to pertinent, argumentative notions and incorporating material from Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Derrida, among others. Although Geuens covers screenwriting, lighting, staging, and framing, among other production issues, he avoids the strictly vocational or \"professional\" approach to film teaching currently applied to most production courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeuens reevaluates what cinema could be, to revive its full powers and attend to the mystery of the creative process. To counter Hollywood's normative machinery, he suggests taking back from the professionals important notions they have arrogated for themselves but rarely act upon: artistry, passion, and engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Pierre Geuens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791445267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791445266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.08w x 0.28d","brand":"Jean-Pierre Geuens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153116836095,"sku":"9780791445266","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1081a5cb-6489-4fd7-99d1-5a6d5759ee6d.jpg?v=1770781398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/film-production-theory-jean-pierre-geuens-9780791445266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
