| Summary |
"Throughout American cinema history, location shooting has served as a vital counterpart to sound stage production, providing both a supplemental, alternative, and, for certain periods, primary form of Hollywood filmmaking. Yet the economic, technical, stylistic and logistical development of this production practice remains scattered across the margins of larger American film histories. Hollywood on Location offers the first comprehensive history of location shooting in the American film industry, exploring the key role that it has played in Hollywood's evolving mode of production from the silent era to the present. The contributors will investigate how and why major studios, built to reproduce every corner of the globe under ideal shooting conditions, nonetheless continued to incorporate and eventually embrace working away from the studio lot as a standard procedure. Hollywood on Location ultimately asserts that location shooting provided new aesthetic paradigms and production methods that fundamentally changed Hollywood practices, both on and off the back lot"-- Provided by publisher |
