Free Download Carol Vernallis, "Transmedia Directors: Artistry, Industry and New Audiovisual Aesthetics "
English | ISBN: 1501339273 | 2019 | 528 pages | AZW3 | 4 MB
Transmedia Directors focuses on artist-practitioners who work across media, platforms and disciplines, including film, television, music video, commercials and the internet. Working in the age of media convergence, today’s em/impresarios project a distinctive style that points toward a new contemporary aesthetics. The media they engage with enrich their practices – through film and television (with its potential for world-building and sense of the past and future), music video (with its audiovisual aesthetics and rhythm), commercials (with their ability to project a message quickly) and the internet (with its refreshed concepts of audience and participation), to larger forms like restaurants and amusement parks (with their materiality alongside today’s digital aesthetics). These directors encourage us to reassess concepts of authorship, assemblage, transmedia, audiovisual aesthetics and world-building.

Hollywood is Everywhere Global Directors in the Blockbuster Era


Free Download Melis Behlil, "Hollywood is Everywhere: Global Directors in the Blockbuster Era "
English | ISBN: 9089647392 | 2016 | 208 pages | PDF | 991 KB

But that fact hides a fundamental difference, one that Melis Behlil examines in Hollywood is Everywhere: today’s Hollywood studios are themselves transnational, with ownership structures and financial arrangements that stretch far beyond the borders of the United States. Seen in that context, today’s international directors are less analogous to the emigre talent of the past than to ordinary transnational employees of other major global corporations.
