AUDIO DESIGN is for writers, directors, editors, producers, camera, and sound persons, set designers, production managers, podcasters, all with the heart of a poet. Audio Design is not so much about "making" as it is about 'thinking". While it has some basic technical references and "how to" guidelines, it is more about visual and aural imagination. "A sound always evokes an image", Bresson says. Audio Design is designed to wet the appetite for personal exploration and growth. . Audio Design is about the storytelling functions of sound in film, television, multi-media. It wants the reader to think about how sound can be used creatively in place of the visual. It fosters aural ideas and analytical thinking about how to explore the narrative functions of sound. It covers the building of voice, music and effects tracks and how they can affect the audience. It discusses the formal elements of film and television production and believes that a form without feeling is a failure.

Fragilität als mehrdeutige und ambivalente Konstitution kennzeichnet Figuren, Motive und Schreibweisen in Literatur und Film. Der Fokus auf fragile Phänomene lenkt den Blick auf das Gefährdete, verlangt Aufmerksamkeit für das Schützenswerte sowie das Aushalten von Brüchigkeit. Fragile Zustände können sowohl Unsicherheit hervorrufen als auch produktive Energie freisetzen. Die verbreitete Wahrnehmung unserer Gegenwart als instabil unterstreicht die Aktualität des Begriffs, der bisher in der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung keine etablierte Kategorie darstellt.Der Sammelband nähert sich deshalb dem Begriff an, indem in verschiedenen literatur- und filmwissenschaftlichen Fallstudien facettenreiche Perspektiven auf Fragilität entwickelt und in ihrem jeweiligen Kontext diskutiert werden.

This thesis studies the urban history of Mumbai from the perspective of popular Hindi films. The change of the name from Bombay to Mumbai in 1995 is symbolic of the transition of the colonial city from a centre of industrial capitalism to a neoliberal city, characterised by finance capital. It also signals the massive changes in the social and the political spheres of the city. Thomas Blom Hansen's Violence in Urban India starts its narrative of the city with a conversation that the author had on a suburban train, few weeks before the official rechristening. He asked an elderly gentleman about his reaction to the proposed change of the city's name from Bombay to Mumbai. While poring over an article in the English daily, Times of India, regarding the change of name of the city, the gentleman promptly answered: "its proper name is Bombay."

In Hammer Goes to Hell, Foster utilises never seen before materials held in the Hammer Script Archive to present a new perspective on one of Britain's most famous production studios. While Hammer Films has been extensively researched, the significant amount of creative and economic labour that went into over 100 unmade projects at the company have yet to be recognised accordingly. Using primary materials such as screenplays and correspondence, Hammer Goes to Hell examines the production contexts of an eclectic range of Hammer's unmade films, ranging from Nessie to Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Using Hammer as a case study, this book represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily use unmade projects. Offering a fresh perspective on this legendary film studio, Foster argues for the importance and sustained study of unmade films. Kieran Foster is a Teaching Associate in Film and Media Studies at the University of Nottingham.

William Klein's 1966 cult classic send-up of Paris haute couture - Vanity FairBased on the original images and dialogue of William Klein's 1966 film Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?, this fantastic photo-novel tells the adventures of Polly Maggoo, a star model played by Dorothy McGowan (model for Vogue in the 1960s). The plot unfolds across the fashion world of Polly Maggoo; the world of television (based around the character of director Jean Rochefort); and a magical kingdom of operetta whose crown prince (played by Sami Frey) is in love with the young model. Also featuring in this star-studded cast are Alice Sapritch, Delphine Seyrig, Philippe Noiret, Roland Topor and Jacques Seiler. The publication ingeniously translates into book form the zany universe of the film. Klein's masterful framing gives exquisite rhythm to its page composition and flow as we follow the crazy adventures of the extraordinary heroine in a madcap race through the streets and rooftops of Paris, all the way up to a distant palace lost in the snow. Born in New York, William Klein (1926-2022) was a multidisciplinary artist whose practice revolutionized photography, particularly fashion and street photography. His fashion work was the subject of several iconic photobooks, including Life Is Good and Good for You in New York (1957) and Tokyo (1964). In the 1980s, he turned to film projects. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Das Buch untersucht, wie die Fernsehschaffenden in Deutschland sogenannten Qualitätsfernsehserien von 2015 bis heute entwickeln. Dabei ist die zentrale Hypothese, dass diese Praktiker das Qualitätsfernsehen, das am stärksten mit dem Serien-Drama aus den USA assoziiert wird, in einen nationalen Kontext übertragen und gleichzeitig dieses Konzept mit breiteren, jüngeren Transformationen des Fernsehens und der lokalen Fernsehindustrie verbinden.

Despite its unabated popularity with audiences, slapstick has received rather little scholarly attention, mostly by scholars concentrating on the US theater and cinema traditions. Nonetheless, as a form of physical humor slapstick has a long history across various areas of cultural production. This volume approaches slapstick both as a genre of situational physical comedy and as a mode of communicating an affective situation captured in various cultural products. Contributors to the volume examine cinematic, literary, dramatic, musical, and photographic texts and performances. From medieval chivalric romance and nineteenth-century theater to contemporary photography, the contributors study treatments of slapstick across media, periods and geographic locations. The aim of a study of such wide scope is to demonstrate how slapstick emerged from a variety of complex interactions among different traditions and by extension, to illustrate that slapstick can be highly productive for interdisciplinary research.
