| 520 | |a "This book historically examines film noir visual style, aesthetic technique, and the technological, industrial, and material production conditions which contributed to the multifaceted evolution of film noir from its 1940s emergence in wartime to its changing nature in the postwar era, through neo-noir's reimagining of the chiaroscuro imagery of classic noir visual style to its transnational production/reception context in a global digital media streaming convergent culture via Netflix. Noir's original shadowy visual style was in part a product of the technologies available at the genre's emergence in the early 1940s, including nitrate film stock. Since then, changes in motion picture technology, film stock, cameras, lenses, cinematography, lighting, color science, projection, digital shooting/compression, and the Netflix streaming revolution have affected the development and evolution of noir visual style, its aesthetic technique, and its legacy of digital darkness. Even among such dramatic shifts in technology, noir as a genre ahs proven to be remarkably durable, persisting even as the technical basis of its visual style changes or disappears entirely. Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard was the last major studio film, and last film noir, to be shot on nitrate: the high-contrast, shadowy images, almost entirely shot in interior locations, visually recall the genre's classics of the preceding decade. The very next year, however, Wilder's Ace in the Hole was shot on acetate safety stock, ushering in the era of "film gris," a low-contrast look, with many more scenes shot outside, in broad daylight, than ever before. This kind of stylistic transformation, Biesen argues, is typical of the evolution of the genre over the much of the 20th century, and into the 21st. She shows, through a wealth of archival research, how Hitchcock's late-50/early 60s masterpieces, the New Hollywood neo-noirs of the 70s, and the postmodern noir of the 90s, all were shaped in different ways by changes in technologies and production practices"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
