    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.

  • The Virtual Worlds of Cinema
    The Virtual Worlds of Cinema Visual Effects, Simulation, and the Aesthetics of Cinematic Immersion Paul Sunderland A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. University of Sydney. 2019 1 I hereby declare that, except where indicated in the notes, this thesis contains only my own original work. Some of Chapter 2 was previously published as ‘The Autonomous Camera in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining,’ in Sydney Studies in English 39, (2013): 58-85. 2 Abstract This thesis develops a phenomenology of immersive cinematic spectatorship. During an immersive experience in the cinema, the images, sounds, events, emotions, and characters that form a fictional diegesis become so compelling that our conscious experience of the real world is displaced by a virtual world. Theorists and audiences have long recognized cinema’s ability to momentarily substitute for the lived experience of reality, but it remains an under-theorized aspect of cinematic spectatorship. The first aim of this thesis is therefore to examine these immersive responses to cinema from three perspectives – the formal, the technological, and the neuroscientific – to describe the exact mechanisms through which a spectator’s immersion in a cinematic world is achieved. A second aim is to examine the historical development of the technologies of visual simulation that are used to create these immersive diegetic worlds. My analysis shows a consistent increase in the vividness and transparency of simulative technologies, two factors that are crucial determinants in a spectator’s immersion. In contrast to the cultural anxiety that often surrounds immersive responses to simulative technologies, I examine immersive spectatorship as an aesthetic phenomenon that is central to our engagement with cinema.

RYBIN has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Vladimir L. Marchenkov Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT RYBIN, STEVEN M., Ph.D., June 2009, Interdisciplinary Arts The Historical Thought of Film: Terrence Malick and Philosophical Cinema (484 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Vladimir L. Marchenkov Previous scholarly work on the director Terrence Malick has argued that his films – Badlands (1973), Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005) – are, in varying ways, philosophical. This assessment is usually made via an analysis of the films in relation to a single philosophical metatext (frequently the work of Martin Heidegger) that transcends the concrete historical situation of both the given film and the historically existing viewer. This study seeks to intervene in this critical literature by theorizing an approach for understanding Malick’s films as works that do not merely illustrate already articulated philosophical themes but that rather function, in dialogue with the spectator, as an invitation to generate creative and historically situated meaning. The film medium, this study argues, is uniquely philosophical in that it exists in time (via the gradual entropy of the celluloid film print) as does the finite, historically embodied spectator.

  • An Off-Screen Approach to Violence in Contemporary Art Cinema
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY An Off-screen Approach to Violence in Contemporary Art Cinema by Lucas Anderson A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF “BA HONOURS IN FILM STUDIES” DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION, MEDIA AND FILM CALGARY, ALBERTA APRIL, 2017 © Lucas Anderson 2017 Abstract This thesis proposes a new approach to assessing the purpose of violence in cinema. It asserts that film violence analysis conventionally subscribes to an “on-screen” analysis of the violence that is visible and graphic. To augment this approach, this thesis argues that analysis of alternative interpretations of violence that reach beyond the visible are necessary. These “invisible” forms of violence inform the existence of on-screen violence and are analyzable in the “off-screen” violence analysis approach theorized in this thesis. I look to contemporary art cinema, and the cinema of Sergei Eisenstein as a precursor, in order to apply the off-screen violence analytical approach. This approach provides valuable insight into films known for their on-screen violence, while also challenging the problematic aspects inherent to representations of violence when taking film form into consideration. Off-screen violence analysis frames and better assesses the on-screen violence in complex art films, attributing a new signification to cinematic representations of violence. ii Acknowledgements I am very fortunate to have produced this thesis under the finest of supervision. The co- supervisors of this thesis, Dr. Lee Carruthers and Dr. Charles Tepperman, contributed their vast knowledge of cinema throughout this process, offering valuable insight and recommendations, placing much needed pressure on my ideas and writing, and influencing my work with their expertise, passion, and professionalism.
