  • BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE Brochure 2015
    BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE The 15th century cottage is situated in a beautiful valley, a stone’s throw away from a remote Atlantic cove. It sleeps 8 people but is equally suitable for 2. A private drive leading from Hartland Abbey through woodland, carpeted in snowdrops and bluebells in spring, quite suddenly opens out to reveal a view of the cliffs and the sea, with the cottage beside the Abbey stream. Its unique position makes it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and escape from the pressures of modern living. It is a children’s paradise. In 2005 the cottage was the film location for Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Maximillian Schell. In May 2007 the BBC filmed Andrew Davies’s stunning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility here, with Janet McTeer and Mark Williams leading a cast of Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, David Morrisey and Dominic Cooper. The cottage starred as ‘Barton Cottage’, home to the Dashwood family when they fell on hard times. The beach, with its rock pools, sand at low tide and unique cliff formation is always interesting in all weathers and at low tide prawns, mussels, limpets, star fish, crabs, lobsters and fish are to be found in the pools which are also wonderful natural paddling pools for children. The sea is very clean and excellent for bathing and surfing, in the right conditions. In good weather evening barbecuing on the beach with the sun setting over the sea is magical. The only light to be seen is from the lighthouse on Lundy Island.

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

Fore- most among these women is the figure of Alice Guy Blaché—also known simply as Alice Guy, before she married Herbert Blaché in 1907—who was responsible for numerous “firsts” in cinema history: the first film with narrative La Fée aux Choux (The Cabbage Patch Fairy; 1896), as well as early experiments with color dye processes, synchronized sound recording, multi-reel films, and other cinematic advances. Gaumont put out a set of her French films for that com- pany—she was the head of production for Gaumont between 1896 and 1907—in a superb DVD in 2009 entitled Gaumont Treasures Vol- ume 1 (1897–1913), but this compilation necessarily did not deal with her subsequent work in America, where she founded her own produc- tion company, Solax, and set about making a series of energetic films in every possible genre.
