Making Stereo Fit shows how Hollywood studios have instead been implementing surround-sound techniques for the past century and argues that their endurance owes primarily to the long-standing economic tension between stereophonic and monophonic sound. Throughout the book, Eric Dienstfrey analyzes newly discovered archival materials, as well as a myriad of stereo releases from Hell's Angels (1930) to Get Out (2017), to examine how Hollywood's dependence on single-channel sound left filmmakers unable to fully realize the aesthetic potential of surround sound. Though studios initially experimented with stereo's unique affordances, Dienstfrey details how film sound designers eventually codified a conservative set of surround-sound conventions that prevail today, despite the arrival of more immersive technologies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : stereo front and center -- Widescreens, headphones, and concert halls : film stereo's identity crisis -- Fantasia and failure on a theme by Bell Telephone -- More speakers, more problems : the Cinerama experience -- The triple-track disruption and the CinemaScope solution -- Perspecta, Todd-AO, and the emergence of monocentrism -- Dolby Stereo : the end of an era -- Conclusion : life's the same, movies in stereo. 650 0 $a Sound in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Surround-sound systems $x Aesthetics. 650 0 $a Stereophonic sound systems $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Sound effects. 650 0 $a Sound $x Digital techniques. $x Digital techniques. 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Sound effects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027388 650 7 $a Sound in motion pictures $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904742 650 7 $a Sound $x Digital techniques $x Digital techniques $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01126959 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dienstfrey, Eric. $t Making stereo fit $d Oakland, California : Universithy of California Press, [2024] $z 9780520976795 $w (DLC) 2023023557 830 0 $a California studies in music, sound, and media ; $v 6. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=37540348E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
