Description

Explore a groundbreaking approach to film theory with Projecting a Camera by Edward Branigan. This work provides a deep look into how the camera operates within cinema, moving beyond basic observations to ask fundamental questions about the medium. Why does a camera move, and what is its relationship to the subject during long static shots? Branigan addresses these questions through a wide-ranging engagement with Wittgenstein and various film theorists. This book offers a fully developed understanding of camera operation, grounded in the philosophy of spectatorship and narrative. It investigates complex scenarios, such as what happens when the screen is blank or what a camera "knows" during a shot. For students, academics, and film enthusiasts, this text provides a rigorous framework for analyzing the technical and philosophical aspects of cinematography and film history.
