Opplysninger | The three French terms montage, or editing, découpage, or scene conception, and mise en scène, or staging, underlie our understanding of and debates around film form. In this unique volume, which effortlessly blends film history, theory and aesthetics in an approach at once synthetic and contrapuntal, Laurent Le Forestier, Timothy Barnard and Frank Kessler examine in lively, readable prose the history of these concepts in film theory and criticism and their genesis and development in practice during cinema's foundational first half-century and beyond. The authors take up early cinema, the modern mise en scène criticism of the 1950s and 60s, silent-era discussions of the theory and practice of montage, the sound period's counter model of découpage, and film aesthetics in the digital age. Each 30,000-word essay serves as an essential guide for students and specialists alike, combining historical overview with fresh ideas about film aesthetics today, drawing on the writings of a broad range of modern-day and historical figures, both well-known (Bazin, Eisenstein) and unfamiliar perhaps to today's reader--- Fra forlaget
