The Neuroscience Behind Storytelling Strategies Paul Gulino & Connie Shears, Chapman University, USA Adapted by adaptor
Production Design for Screen provides filmmakers with an inspiring, yet practical look at the process of designing for screen. Using real-world projects as examples, five key design elements are explored in detail; namely light, colour, space, character positioning and set dressing. From constructing sets through to choosing locations, this book reveals how the designer is crucial in the creation of place, character and narrative. Includes case studies and interviews from designers such as Stuart Craig (Harry Potter, Notting Hill, The English Patient) and Eve Stewart (The King's Speech, Les Misérables).

Paul Gulino, author of the best-selling Screenwriting: A Sequence Approach, and Connie Shears, a noted cognitive psychologist, build an understanding of the human perceptual/cognitive process, from the 'control panel' of the frontal lobes through to the lower part of the brain controlling vital functions. They then provide case studies of various films - such as Top Secret, Some Like it Hot, and Adam's Rib - discussing their narrative strategies and demonstrating how these strategies intersect with the science of human perception. This book also covers currently controversial issues like audience attention span in light of the emergence of new distribution forms (streaming video) and new narrative forms (ultra-short Vine videos to webisodes to fullseason binge-watching).

Hollywood Math and Aftermath The Economic Image and the Digital Recession J.D. Connor, Yale University, USA Adapted by adaptor
J.D. Connor's Hollywood Math and Aftermath proves a stimulating and original take on the relationship between economics and the Hollywood film industry since the 1970s. The industry maintains its preeminence by turning all types of crises into stories— in advance or after the fact. The recession gave the industry new themes to pursue—financial crisis (Arbitrage) and the housing bubble (Magic Mike)—but it also took away its usual funding sources. Every film is greenlit knowing that it will be released into a world that does not yet exist; every movie is a bet that the world in which it appears will be a world that wants it.
