Synopsis

Title: Speed : cinema of motion
Author/Publisher: Werner Adrian (Bounty Books)
Publication Year: 1975
Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket

Published in 1975, Werner Adrian's 'Speed : cinema of motion' delves into a captivating aspect of filmmaking: the depiction and experience of velocity on screen. This non-fiction work offers an adult audience a considered exploration of how cinema has harnessed and interpreted the concept of speed throughout its history.

Adrian invites readers to consider the artistic and technical innovations that have allowed filmmakers to convey everything from rapid movement to exhilarating chases, and the profound impact this has on narrative and visual storytelling.

• Capturing Velocity: This section likely examines the diverse cinematic techniques employed to represent speed, from early silent film tricks to more advanced camera work and editing rhythms of the mid-20th century.
• The Dynamics of Narrative: Adrian probably discusses how the portrayal of motion and speed influences plot development, characterisation, and the overall dramatic tension within a film.
• A Visual Language: The book would explore how filmmakers use speed as a distinct visual element, contributing to the aesthetic and emotional impact of their works.

As a vintage publication from the mid-1970s, this title holds particular appeal for film scholars, enthusiasts of cinematic history, and collectors interested in the nuanced analysis of specific filmic elements. It offers a unique window into how speed, a fundamental human experience, has been translated and transformed through the art of motion pictures.
