As moving picture shows changed from mere novelty to an increasingly popular entertainment, fledgling studios responded with longer running times and more complex storytelling. A growing trade press and changing production procedures also influenced filmmaking. In Early American Cinema in Transition, Charlie Keil looks at a broad cross-section of fiction films to examine the formal changes in cinema of this period and the ways that filmmakers developed narrative techniques to suit the fifteen-minute, one-reel format.Keil outlines the kinds of narratives that proved most suitable for a single reels duration, the particular demands that time and space exerted on this early form of film narration, and the ways filmmakers employed the unique features of a primarily visual medium to craft stories that would appeal to an audience numbering in the millions. He underscores his analysis with a detailed look at six films: The Boy Detective; The Forgotten Watch; Rose OSalem-Town; Cupids Monkey Wrench; Belle Boyd, A Confederate Spy; and Suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735994925344,"sku":"NEW029917364X","price":28.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/717sIoKbfPL.jpg?v=1779501847","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/early-american-cinema-in-transition-story-style-and-filmmaking-1907-1913-wisconsin-studies-in-film-kristin-thompson-supervising-editor-david-bordwell-and-vance-kepley-jr-general-editors-029917364x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
