ODP: [SEELANGS] Film techniques of the 1920s

[W. Martin]

Hi Tony, these books come immediately to mind, and might be helpful or lead
to yet more helpful sources.

 

Richard Abel, Encyclopedia of Early Cinema (entries on lighting, etc.)

Thomas Elsaesser, ed., Early Cinema: Space Frame Narrative

Thomas Elsaesser, ed., A Second Life: German Cinema's First Decades

Richard Taylor / Ian Christie, eds., Inside the Film Factory: New Approaches
to Russian and Soviet Cinema

Yuri Tsivian's BFI Companion book on Ivan the Terrible

She also might want to look at interviews with and writings by the Canadian
director Guy Maddin.

 

Cheers, Bill

Temat: [SEELANGS] Film techniques of the 1920s

 

A former student of mine is producing a short film and has asked me a

question that I can't answer:  her idea is to borrow the visual  style of

Soviet and German silent cinema of the 1920s (e..g., *Metropolis*) and she's

asking for published sources (in English) which discuss the kinds of

lighting/equipment used in the period.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions,

 

Tony
