The authors challenge this view, arguing that filmmaking is a form of collection expression. They examine the idea that many individuals, including editors, cinematographers and sound designers, contribute to the making of a film, and argue that it is misleading to classify them as technicians. The authors consider is how money and power determines the structure within which all those involved with filmmaking work. And, in challenging the accepted view of the dynamics of filmmaking, the book raises questions about the nature of the feature film. Is it essentially a visual form? What place does it have? How important is the script? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eMaking Films in Contemporary Hollywood\u003c\/em\u003e contains analysis, interviews and case studies of \u003cem\u003eChinatown, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eJurassic Park, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWhen Harry Met Sally\u003c\/em\u003e, bringing a fresh perspective to the study of filmmaking that will be both informative and provocative for Media and Film Studies students at all levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Lovell, Gianluca Sergi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0340809833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780340809839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hodder Education Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.24w x 0.36d","brand":"Alan Lovell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057861849343,"sku":"9780340809839","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ba07c58-b05b-43de-8e81-66f589263e45.jpg?v=1685049299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-films-in-contemporary-hollywood-alan-lovell-9780340809839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
