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. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-285) and index. 650 0 $a Underwater cinematography. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Aesthetics. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x History. 650 0 $a Water in motion pictures. 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027288 650 7 $a Underwater cinematography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161081 650 7 $a Water in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01905107 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780691225524 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013143.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AC9610CBFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
