This is a collection of twelve essays written by MA Film Studies students at Queen Mary, University of London. Each makes a substantial contribution to understanding the work of a cinematographer; and crucially, the role of cinematography as part of the collaborative practice of filmmaking. These essays discuss cinematography across a range of historical and theoretical contexts, including lighting for black and white within film noir, the use of Technicolor, and the contemporary use of digital technology in both production and post-production.
The essays are authored by: Rashpal Saini, Oliver Davis, Vinet Campbell, James Hay, Neil Calloway, Alissa Timoshkina, Basak Yazar, Jared Juliano, Johanne Stephenson, Alice Wybrew, Sarah Bentley, Guilherme Perdigao Murta
