The underwater eye : how the movie camera opened the depths and unleashed new realms of fantasy / Margaret Cohen. by Cohen, Margaret, 1958- author. Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2022] Subjects Underwater cinematography.   Motion pictures -- Aesthetics.   Motion pictures -- History.   Water in motion pictures. ISBN:  9780691197975 (hardcover) 0691197970 (hardcover) Description:  xviii, 303 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In The Underwater Eye, Margaret Cohen tells the fascinating story of how the development of modern diving equipment and movie camera technology has allowed documentary and narrative filmmakers to take human vision into the depths, creating new imagery of the seas and the underwater realm, and expanding the scope of popular imagination. Innovating on the most challenging film set on earth, filmmakers have tapped the emotional power of the underwater environment to forge new visions of horror, tragedy, adventure, beauty, and surrealism, entertaining the public and shaping its perception of ocean reality. Examining works by filmmakers ranging from J. E. Williamson, inventor of the first undersea film technology in 1914, to Wes Anderson, who filmed the underwater scenes of his 2004 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou entirely in a pool, The Underwater Eye traces how the radically alien qualities of underwater optics have shaped liquid fantasies for more than a century. Richly illustrated, the book explores documentaries by Jacques Cousteau, Louis Malle, and Hans Hass, art films by Man Ray and Jean Vigo, and popular movies and television shows such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Sea Hunt, the Bond films, Jaws, The Abyss, and Titanic. In exploring the cultural impact of underwater filmmaking, the book also asks compelling questions about the role film plays in engaging the public with the remote ocean, a frontline of climate change.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 777.89437 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
