After 33 years as an independent with an Academy Award nomination as film editor for "Graffiti" and an Academy Award for her work on "Jaws," Fields has come into her own as one of Hollywood's most influential women. Verna Fields began her career as sound editor for Fritz Lang's "Woman In The Window" (1942). Initially beginning as an apprentice, she gained full editorial status after a dispute between Lang and editor Sam Fields, the man who would become her husband a few years later. Between 1946 and 1954, Fields directed her energies towards being a wife and mother of two sons. But after the untimely death of her husband, she returned to sound editing, for both movies and TV. Her television work included "The Whistler," "Sky King," "The Lone Ranger," and Death Valley Days." She also worked again with Fritz Lang for "While The City Sleeps" (I 956) and was sound effects editor for Anthony Mann's "El Cid" (1961), for which she won the Motion Picture Sound Editing Award. v E R N A Her first assignment as a visual editor was for Irving Lerner's "Studs Lonigan" (1960). After that she spent several years alternating between sound and picture cutting. She also formed her own company, directing and editing documentaries for the Office of Economic Opportunity and govern­ ment films on health and nutrition F L M 0 G R A P H Y until funds were cut. Her last sound editing job proved to be ''Targets" (1968) for Peter 1944 Belle of the Yukon asst. ed Casanova Brown asst. ed Bogdanovich.

F E L D s ':'""'. ~ -- R 0 8 E R T E. Panavision, Incorporated was founded by Robert E. Gottschalk in the fall of 1953 for the purpose of manufacturing anamorphic projection lenses to use Jwith the recently developed Cinemascope process. The perfected lens soon becam\ the most popular in the world. At that time, MGM made their most expensive films in Cinemascope and came to Panavision in hopes that they could design a system for them on a non-exclusive basis. They developed Ultra-Panavision 70 which MGM first used on "Raintree Country". Concurrently, they developed a new lens design for 3Smm photography to compete with Cinemascope. It eliminated troublesome close-up distortion and the general lack of definition possessed by Cinemascope lenses. Next came the Super Panavision 70, which added new spherical lenses to the existing 70mm cameras. "West Side Story" was the first film to use Super Pana- vision. ,_ Not too long afterwards, Panavision came out with the first silent studio reflex· camera, called the Panavision Silent Reflex Camera, or PSR. Throughout the sixties, the popularity of Panavision's lenses and the PSR grew dramatically. In 1972, Gottschalk's company unveiled a camera that took the industry by surprise. The Panaflex camera was light enough to be comfortably carried by hand and yet serve all the functions of a studio camera plus. In the years since it was introduced, the Panaflex has undergone over 100 modifications which were made on all 100 Panaflex cameras, not just the latest ones. This assures the cameraman that he has gotten the state of the art. Some of Panavision's latest products include the Panaglide, a silent, body sus­ pended floating camera which used a "Panavised" Arriflex camera, and the Pana­ flex-X, which was made to be a second camera to the Panaflex. -,, 0 T T s c H A L K PANAVISION FIRSTS 1.

  • 12Th Irish Screen Studies Seminar Dublin City University, 11 May 2016
    12th Irish Screen Studies Seminar Dublin City University, 11 May 2016 A Report by Loretta Goff, University College Cork Since its inauguration in 2003, the annual Irish Screen Studies Seminar has acted as a platform for researchers in the area of film and screen cultures to share their work. The seminar is specifically aimed at postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars working out of Irish universities and colleges or with Irish topics, but covers screen culture in the broadest sense, ranging from the audio to the visual, film, television and digital media to transmedia and gaming. This diversity of topic was reflected at the 12th Irish Screen Studies Seminar, which was a one-day event featuring four panels and a keynote address by Catherine Grant (Sussex). The day began with the “Screen: Migration, Policy, and Practice” panel, including papers addressing each of the panel’s subheadings, with a particular theme of transmediality running throughout them. Cormac Mc Garry (NUI Galway) addressed the topic of media migration with his paper titled “Comic Books in the Digital Age: The Great Screen Migration?”, where he explained transmedia approaches to comics in association with the horizontal integration of media conglomerates. The “big two” comics producers, Marvel and DC, are subsidiaries of Disney and Time Warner respectively, who have slated comic film release dates as far in advance as 2020, and who simultaneously produce games, TV shows and even motion and Guided View comics across their various subsidiaries to reinforce viewer commitments across channels. Maria O’Brien (Dublin City University) then shed some light on tax incentive policies (or lack thereof) for video game production, as compared to film, in her paper “Video Games in the 2013 Cinema Communication Negotiations: A Political Economic Perspective”.

  • American Cinema of the 1970S SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES
    American Cinema of the 1970s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series is an anthology of original essays exploring the impact of cultural issues on film and the impact of film on American society. Because every chapter presents a discussion of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a systematic and progressive sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across North America. We know that our series represents just one approach to the growth of the American cinema: to organ- ize by decades establishes somewhat artificial borders and boundaries, and each author’s thematic choices are but one way to understand the culture of a particular year. Despite such limitations, this structure contextualizes the sprawling progres- sion of American cinema, especially as it relates to historical and cultural events. We hope that these books, aimed at scholars and general readers, students and teachers, will shed valuable new light on, and will provide a better understanding of, Ameri- can culture and film history during the twentieth century.

  • Tobacco Control Policy Making: United States
    UCSF Tobacco Control Policy Making: United States Title Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the Federal Trade Commission Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7kd981j3 Authors Polansky, Jonathan R Glantz, Stanton A, PhD Publication Date 2016-07-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the Federal Trade Commission Jonathan R. Polansky Onbeyond LLC, Fairfax, California Stanton A. Glantz, PhD University of California, San Francisco ___________________________ University of California, San Francisco This publication is available at www.escholarship.org/uc/item/7kd981j3 July 2016 Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the FTC | 2 Summary of findings The historical record strongly suggests that asking tobacco companies to report their product placement activities and expenditures did not capture all activity in this area. This report compares expenditures for product placement described in internal documents from American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Liggett & Myers, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds tobacco companies with reports the companies were required to submit to the US Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category of cigarette promotion and advertising. During that time, in their internal documents, American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds, or their contracted product placement agents, listed 750 motion pictures as engaged for product placement, 600 of which were released widely to theaters (Appendix). Substantial discrepancies exist between product placement spending described in the internal industry records and the spending reported to the Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category. Nearly half (47 percent; $2.3 million of about $5 million) of spending for on-screen product placement described in internal industry records between 1978 and 1994 was not reported in to the FTC in the “endorsements and testimonials” category.

Deposit Guide Contact: email ON THE MEANING OF A CUT: TOWARDS A THEORY OF EDITING Bartłomiej Dziadosz A dissertation submitted to the Department of English and Humanities in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Birkbeck, University of London October 2018 Abstract I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own and the work of other persons is appropriately acknowledged. This thesis looks at a variety of discourses about film editing in order to explore the possibility, on the one hand, of drawing connections between them, and on the other, of addressing some of their problematic aspects. Some forms of fragmentation existed from the very beginnings of the history of the moving image, and the thesis argues that forms of editorial control were executed by early exhibitors, film pioneers, writers, and directors, as well as by a fully- fledged film editor. This historical reconstruction of how the profession of editor evolved sheds light on the specific aspects of their work. Following on from that, it is proposed that models of editing fall under two broad paradigms: of montage and continuity.
