The use of AI in the production of film and television – either to write scripts, generate actors’ likenesses, or cut corners in paying creative work, has been a major point of contention in negotiations between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and Sag and the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

2023 July 26, Adrian Horton, “Netflix lists AI job worth $900,000 amid twin Hollywood strikes”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

The W.G.A.’s negotiating committee recognized that A.I. had to be on the table, and not simply as something to be resisted or refused.

From the first, jungle-set shot, the redoubtable d.p. Hélène Louvart gives the film the daubed, traffic-light palette of a ripe mango; were it possible, you’d expect it to have an aroma to match.

velociraptor

From New Latin Velociraptor genus name, from vēlōx (“swift”) + raptor (“thief”).
The application to Deinonychus came about because Gregory S. Paul proposed that Velociraptor and Deinonychus were the same genus and this idea was taken up in the book leading to the Jurassic Park film series.

This is my favorite velociraptor, and that is saying a lot....That this species is sunk into Velociraptor is rather unfortunate, because the name Deinonychus Ostrom 1969a is a fine one.

filmology

[title] International Bureau of Filmology ¶ When the International Film Congress met in Paris in 1947 a plan was approved for the organization of a “Bureau International de Filmologie.”

1949, Renée Jeanne Fulton, “Theatre, Film, and Radio Notes”, in The French Review, volume 22, number 3, American Association of Teachers of French, page 279:

Pervy's research in filmology may eventually open wider applications of films in modern languages.

1949, Renée Jeanne Fulton, “Theatre, Film, and Radio Notes”, in The French Review, volume 23, number 2, American Association of Teachers of French, page 144:

[title]

1950, Adolphe Pervy, “Filmology Applied to the Fields of Vocabulary Growth and Modern Language Methods”, in Modern Language Forum, v 35 (March–June), pp 42–53

So the University of Paris set out to study the science of filmology—after Cohen-Séat's important book had given rise to an institute, a review, and a whole series of investigations.

1956, Jean Debrix, “Cinema and Poetry”, in Yale French Studies, number 17, Yale University Press, page 88:

The fourth approach is that of filmology—of the scientific study conducted from outside by psychologists, psychiatrists, aestheticians, sociologists, educators, and biologists. [contrasted with film criticism, the history of the cinema, and the “theory of cinema”]

1991, Christian Metz, Michael Taylor, Film Language: A Semiotics of the Cinema, University of Chicago Press, page 90:

190: According to Marc Soriano, secretary editor of the institute's review, “Before filmology, one was restricted to verifying a basic truth, that the projection of a film affected the audience. As far as how and why, that was another question. It was thus this ‘how and why’ that the nascent filmology tackled.”
198: This problem of the film spectator, which we have just begun to address, was already at the center of the filmology movement's debates during the 1950s.

1992, Jacques Aumont et al, Richand Neupert transl., Aesthetics of Film, University of Texas Press

In the history of the filmology movement this conjuncture of disciplines underwent a gradual but unrelenting reconfiguration wherein the disciplines of psychology and sociology (at this time overwhelmingly Durkheimian in cast) acquired such prominence that aesthetic or hermeneutic concerns were virtually eliminated.

1992, John Mowitt, Text, Duke University Press, page 143:

9: Filmology once again set an example, by explicitly proposing a new vocabulary (“filmofanic,” “profilmic,” “diegetic,” etc.), just as semiotics and psychoanalysis would become exemplary in the 1960s and 1970s by tending toward private lexemes (“syntagmatic,” “icon,” “suture,” etc.).
103: It should be noted that filmology is not the only branch of the ongoing research, however; but we have had strong reasons for privileging it so far. It cannot be said too often that filmology introduced a scientific approach to cinema for the first time and that, during the 1950s and 1960s, it hosted the most important psychological contributions to the topic. But when the references to this experience started disappearing, especially in the second half of the 1970s, other lines of enquiry emerged, close to filmology in spirit.

1999, Francesco Casetti, Elizabeth Gard Bartolini-Salimbeni, Theories of Cinema, 1945–1995:

If filmology, for its part, has not shown much interest in films, it has significantly contributed to the shift in film theory's center of gravity by determining it in relation to certain “scientific” achievements, and, despite the generality of its stakes, has sometimes wound up touching several levels of textual singularity—and above all reviving a concern for method, which will have more or less long term direct effects on the analysis of film, thanks to a progressive displacement at work from filmology toward semiology.

2000, Raymond Bellour, Constance Penley, The Analysis of Film, Indiana University Press, page 6:

(film) A 1950s–60s movement of theoretical study relating to film.

docudrama

/ˈdɒkjʊˌdɹɑːmə/

Coordinate term: docufiction

In other words, docudrama covers an amazing variety of dramatic forms, bound together by two things. They are all based on or inspired by reality, by the lives of real people, or by events that have happened in the recent or not too distant past. Furthermore, they would seem to have a higher responsibility to accuracy and to truth than does fiction.

1999, Alan Rosenthal, editor, Why Docudrama?: Fact-fiction on Film and TV, SIU Press, →ISBN, page xv:

And docudramas would be the perfect epitaph because, though Norman Kingsley Mailer dreamed of being the monarch of the American novel, he was finally the king of faction, the man whose greatest books, a nightmare for any librarian hoping neatly to classify as fiction or non-fiction, consolidated the now standard view that reporting is as important to storytelling as invention.

2007 November 12, Mark Lawson, “The king of faction”, in The Guardian:

“Docudrama” is by its nature a confusing genre—neither fish nor fowl, and thus lacking either taste or substance.

2008 December 30, Bob Sommer, “The Education of David Frost”, in CounterPunch:

Fenny Compton featured in the recent TV docudrama Mr Bates vs The Post Office. It was where the first meeting of postmasters took place in 2009, organised by sub-postmaster Alan Bates to begin mounting a fight for justice in the now well-publicised Post Office scandal.

2024 April 3, Stephen Roberts, “Bradshaw's Britain: destination Harrow”, in RAIL, number 1006, page 57:

Although this mise en scène may sound like a contrived “Twilight Zone” setup, it provides Mr. Powers with the perfect opportunity to show off his virtuosic skills as a writer[…]

1995 June 27, Michiko Kakutani, “Playing Pygmalion to a Hermeneutic Computer”, in New York Times:

For reasons explained in the previous volume, noticeably absent are mises en scène representing productions at the Théâtre-Italien.

1998: H. Robert Cohen, Original Staging Manuals for Ten Parisian Operatic Premières, 1824–1843, page xiii (Pendragon Press; →ISBN, 0945193610)

Dupont interrupts the continuity of the master narrative of lighthouse-keeping and marital and extramarital love with visually arresting mise-en-scènes and mise-en-shots.

2010, Paul Matthew St, E. A. Dupont and His Contribution to British Film, Pierre: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, page 173:

This is also the point at which mise en scène no longer simply describes the passage of a text to the stage, but rather encompasses the autonomous organisation of the theatre work, the 'synthetic' vision of theatre and of mise en scène which is the subject of an accomplished study by Guido Hiss.

2013, Patrice Pavis, translated by Joel Anderson, Contemporary Mise en Scène, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), pages 9–10:

(film, theater) The arrangement of props and actors on a stage or for film.

tweener

With a less bankable cast, “Cold Mountain” became an $80-million-plus “tweener,” neither a blockbuster studio movie nor a modest “indiewood” production like “Lost in Translation.”

2004 February 3, Peter Biskind, “Ambitious Miramax Gets Lost in ‘Tweener’ Land”, in Los Angeles Times:

(informal) A person or thing that is between two categories, classes or age groups.

(film) A film that falls between two genres or audiences (and thus may not be easily marketed).

While it lacks true function curves for complete control of tweening, Carrara has several kinds of tweeners that allow decent control of object movement between keyframes (the Spline and Velocity Graph tweeners are most useful).

box office

box office (countable and uncountable, plural box offices)

1786, presumably from sales of boxes, box seats (“separated private seating”). Sense of “total sales” from 1904.
Folk etymology is that this derives from Elizabethan theatre, where theater admission was collected in a box attached to a long stick, passed around the audience. However, first attestation is over a century later (theaters were closed in 1642), making this highly unlikely.

(countable, film, theater) A place where tickets are sold in a theatre/theater or cinema.

If any further insurance was required, the popularity of the three "Topper" films in the 1930s — based on Thorne Smith's characters — would seem to indicate that amusing ghosts made good box office.

cromulent

A humorous, intentionally morphologically opaque neologism and nonce word coined by American television writer David X.

Ms. Hoover: I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word.

Principal Skinner: He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance.

1996 February 18, David X. Cohen, “Lisa the Iconoclast”, in The Simpsons, season 7, episode 16, production code 3F13:

Nerdcore could rise up, it could get elevated.
Oh, and wouldn’t all of those tough rappers hate it
if the nerdcore rose up and got elevated.
We consider the possibleness of this not overstated.
And I know that "possibleness" is not a cromulent word;
every syllable injected is intended to be the one you heard
(an absurd juxtaposition of mission and goal).

He had a boundless passion for music and entertained many with his beautiful voice and perfectly cromulent sense of humor.

tanda

→ Basque: txanda

→ English: tanda

Cognate to Catalan tanda and Galician tanda, of unknown origin. Perhaps from a Latin tanta (literally “that much”) or nominalization of Latin tandem (“(of time) at length, at last”), with contamination from either. Normally suggested to be from an instance noun Arabic ضَمْدَة (ḍamda, “bandage”) from the root ض م د (ḍ-m-d) being metaphorically used, however, apart from this semantic development being dubious, not only the consonants do not match but this Arabic noun is of utmost rarity.

(film) Four hinged metal slats that come (or are attachable) on the front of cinema lights, used for shaping light and fastening light gels.


subtitle

Coordinate term: intertitle

Careful viewers have long observed that in the movies, one can not only watch but read cigarettes like subtitles — translating the action on the screen into another language which the camera registers but rarely foregrounds, a part of the thickness of the medium which is almost never brought into focus. […] The cigarette in the scene serves as a subtext, a mute caption or subtitle, sometimes accompanying, sometimes contradicting or diverting the explicit premise of the action or the open meaning of signs.

I put out my hand and touched the warm surface of the camouflaged Rolls-Royce. I was going to ask Mycroft if I could have the cloaking device fitted to my Speedster but I was too late; enthused by my interest he had trotted off to a large roll-top bureau and was beckoning me over excitedly.
