Media and communication scholars specializing in cinema and its history focus on artists and houses, processes, technologies, practices and aesthetics that comprise the long and varied history
of special/visual effects in the American cinema. At the same time, they offer a parallel examination of the manner in which editing has become integrated into Hollywood’s moviemaking methods,
and how editing has shaped the style of American films. The arrangement is chronological, from the silent screen 1895-1927 through classical Hollywood 1928-46, postwar Hollywood 1947-67, the
auteur renaissance 1968-71, the new Hollywood 1981-99, and the modern entertainment marketplace in the 21st century. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
