[ecrea] The Look: Digital Cinema Aesthetics and Workflows Symposium

> The Look: Digital Cinema Aesthetics and Workflows
> This one-day symposium will explore, and attempt 
> to demystify, the movement of film and video 
> footage through the digital production process 
> from camera to exhibition. The ?look? of a film 
> used to be the domain of the cinematographer. As 
> a result of the various new forms of image 
> manipulation that have appeared in the last 
> decade and a half, new types of collaboration 
> have resulted ? for example, between 
> cinematographers, post-production supervisors, 
> visual effects artists, and colourists. Given 
> the multiplicity of ways in which the aesthetics 
> of a film can change after shooting is complete, 
> a key question presents itself: who controls what aspects of a film?s look?
>
> This symposium will trace how the ?look? of 
> shots changes at each stage of this process, 
> explain some of the technologies that effect 
> these changes, and discuss the decision-making 
> behind these changes. It will also explore the 
> reorganisation of production roles and 
> responsibilities that has resulted from the 
> digitisation of film-making workflows. The 
> symposium will draw from a range of specialisms, 
> bridging theory and practice: invited speakers 
> will include Oliver Stapleton BSC

> The day will consist of four sessions: image 
> capture, data management, colour grading, and 
> display; then a final plenary. Each of the four 
> sessions will comprise a presentation by a film 
> industry professional, a presentation by a film 
> academic to open up wider questions, and a 
> dialogue between the two hosted by Terry Flaxton 
> <http://www.flaxton.btinternet.co.uk/>  AHRC 
> Senior Research Fellow (and DoP). The intention 
> is to introduce the practice of each to the 
> other and of both to the general public, 
> facilitating an open conversation about the 
> aesthetic issues, pressures, technologies, and 
> production roles involved in contemporary film production.
