| book description |

Unlike editing, dÃ©coupage does not take place after the film has been shot, but before. The French term refers to the breakdown of a scene into a sequence of shots. In order to translate the written screenplay into film language, cinematographers and directors employ a genuinely cinematic way of thinkingâ€”a thinking in sequences of moving images and sounds, including the camera setups, movements, and shot sizes. DÃ©coupage is thus crucial in shaping a filmâ€™s specific form. Using the tools of conceptual history, Guido Kirsten traces the termâ€™s evolution from its emergence in the 1910s through the eventful film history of the twentieth century until its recent rediscovery. By differentiating layers of meaning and discussing important shifts in the conceptâ€™s evolution, this book improves the understanding of key film theoretical texts, whose meaning has been distorted by mistranslation, and shows how a deeper reflection of dÃ©coupage promises to enrich the analysis of contemporary moving image media.
