Clark expose, à destination des techniciens d’Hollywood, les différentes manières d’élaborer les effets spéciaux d’un film. Son inventaire s’étend du trucage le plus simple – un écran de fumée, par exemple (40-43) – aux effets spéciaux les plus élaborés, comme l’animation image par image (108-109) ou la construction de maquettes animées complexes (89, 146, 152). Le livre de Clark se veut un exposé technique, sans parti pris, et appuyé sur une solide connaissance pratique du métier de concepteur d’effets spéciaux.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
