The Long Take (eBook)

978-1-137-58573-8 (ISBN)
This is the first book in English exclusively devoted to the long take, one of the key elements of film style. Increasingly visible in contemporary international media, the long take currently attracts a good deal of attention in criticism and commentary. There are also significant strands of film theory in which duration has become a recurrent concern.
In keeping with the approach of Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television, this collection is devoted to the detailed critical analysis of specific long takes, explored in terms of how they function within their contexts, how they shape the visual field, the meanings they generate and the effects they create. The Long Take: Critical Approaches brings together essays by established and emerging scholars (all but one essay commissioned for this volume) in an exciting collection that analyses works from a range of filmmaking traditions, from the 1930s to the present day, selected to represent varied long take practices and to explore associated debates.
John Gibbs is Professor of Film and Douglas Pye is Senior Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Film, Theatre and Television at the University of Reading, UK. They are series editors of Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television and members of the editorial board of Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism.
