Description
Digital images are now an integral part of the cinematic frame, yet analysing films can sometimes make it difficult to discern their impact. This accessible book provides tools for scholars and students to engage with digital imaging in cinema, demystifying its relationship with film analysis. Through a range of case studies, including the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Avatar, as well as Alice in Wonderland and King Kong, this book demonstrates how digital elements can be discussed and analysed. A fresh approach is proposed for close textual analysis of film, taking into account the presence of digital imaging.
