Sintesi

TLDRCette vidéo évoque l'âge d'or d'Hollywood, une époque marquée par un système de production de films en masse, géré par de puissants moguls, où chaque film était créé dans un environnement de type usine. Les citations des réalisateurs expliquent comment cette période était influencée par des artistes du monde entier venus perfectionner leurs techniques. Les studios fonctionnaient sous une hiérarchie stricte, et le style cinématographique visait à ne pas détourner l'attention du récit grâce à des techniques invisibles de montage et de caméra. "Casablanca" de 1942 est mentionné comme une œuvre maîtresse de ce style. Bien que le système de studios ait évolué, les méthodes de cette époque continuent de marquer le cinéma contemporain.

    L'intervenant, élevé avec les films américains, met l'accent sur l'importance de l'histoire et de la narration dans le cinéma américain, surtout durant l'âge d'or d'Hollywood, où la production massive attirait les talents du monde entier. Les studios fonctionnaient comme des usines, produisant des centaines de films par an, influençant et réinventant constamment les styles. Ce système permettait aux réalisateurs de créer un monde de toutes pièces, chaque aspect du film, de l'éclairage au montage, étant soigneusement orchestré pour servir la narration. Un exemple notable de ce système est le film Casablanca, où la direction, l'éclairage, la photographie, le jeu d'acteur et le montage s'unissent pour créer un style tellement maîtrisé qu'il passe inaperçu, rendant l'histoire et les acteurs les seuls éléments visibles à l'écran.

  • 00:00:10
    everything is at the everything is at

    the service of the narrative of the

    story
  • 00:00:19
    [Music]
  • 00:00:28
    in the halcyon days of Hollywood so many
  • 00:00:32
    hundreds of films were being produced
  • 00:00:33
    had lured the world's finest talent
  • 00:00:36
    drawn by the lavish production
  • 00:00:38
    opportunities for the creative firm are
  • 00:00:40
    the chance to perfect techniques of
  • 00:00:42
    filmmaking still in the process of
  • 00:00:44
    refinement
  • 00:00:47
    the old Hollywood had this wonderful
  • 00:00:49
    method you know it's like a factory so
  • 00:00:51
    therefore each studio made a couple
  • 00:00:52
    hundred films a year
  • 00:00:56
    [Applause]
  • 00:01:03
    there are so many people and I think
  • 00:01:06
    influence each other and they all wound
  • 00:01:07
    up in the same place that I I think it
  • 00:01:09
    was a very exciting exciting uh 20 30 40
  • 00:01:13
    years where there's so much going on
  • 00:01:15
    everybody influencing each other and and
  • 00:01:17
    trying this new thing and trying that in
  • 00:01:18
    Myr no just came out of Germany let's
  • 00:01:20
    look at his films let's try camera
  • 00:01:21
    movement like he does you know I mean
  • 00:01:23
    Hawks tried that in one film and then
  • 00:01:25
    went back afterwards I said I'm not
  • 00:01:26
    moving the camera again it's four more
  • 00:01:27
    no not for me you know and they really
  • 00:01:29
    redefined their styles they became very
  • 00:01:32
    much they found out who they were these
  • 00:01:34
    filmmakers and they they did so
  • 00:01:37
    accordingly with each film the Hollywood
  • 00:01:40
    style began as a studio style based on a
  • 00:01:43
    model of mass production a handful of
  • 00:01:45
    major studios employing thousands of
  • 00:01:47
    workers manufactured films in a factory
  • 00:01:50
    like environment
  • 00:01:54
    they were run by iron-fisted moguls who
  • 00:01:56
    turned out stories with assembly line
  • 00:01:58
    efficiency
  • 00:02:06
    although the studios have faded
  • 00:02:07
    craftspeople working today production
  • 00:02:10
    designers editors cinematographers
  • 00:02:12
    writers continue to employ basic
  • 00:02:15
    stylistic principles established in the
  • 00:02:17
    studio era
  • 00:02:18
    [Music]
  • 00:02:22
    they could do more pictures in a week
  • 00:02:24
    than I could do in a lifetime because
  • 00:02:27
    they never did them alone they had this
  • 00:02:28
    huge department in the days of the 30s
  • 00:02:32
    everything was under a studio structure
  • 00:02:34
    everybody worked for the studio Harry
  • 00:02:36
    Cohen at Columbia where I started not
  • 00:02:39
    only saw dailies he knew how to look at
  • 00:02:41
    things
  • 00:02:44
    [Applause]
  • 00:02:46
    I think the first thing they were
  • 00:02:48
    looking at was how the stars looked and
  • 00:02:50
    the cinematographer was under great deal
  • 00:02:52
    of pressure to deliver mood to deliver
  • 00:02:55
    drama to deliver all the texture that
  • 00:02:57
    the story demand and at the same time
  • 00:02:58
    keep those stars looking as good as the
  • 00:03:00
    studio expected envelope so you had a
  • 00:03:03
    strong structure watching over the
  • 00:03:06
    technique of pictures and enforcing
  • 00:03:08
    certain rules
  • 00:03:16
    but one thing about the old system was
  • 00:03:18
    that you actually designed the entire
  • 00:03:22
    movie you made all these choices it was
  • 00:03:24
    a world you created it wasn't a world
  • 00:03:26
    you went out and found
  • 00:03:28
    it was the director on the set who
  • 00:03:31
    orchestrated each crafts contribution to
  • 00:03:33
    the storytelling process scripting
  • 00:03:35
    custom and production design lighting
  • 00:03:37
    camera movie editing acting supported by
  • 00:03:40
    an army of experts and technicians
  • 00:03:42
    working together to achieve the most
  • 00:03:44
    emotionally compelling result Casablanca
  • 00:03:52
    one of the greatest love stories ever
  • 00:03:54
    told was made in 1942 in the consummate
  • 00:03:57
    studio style at least six writers worked
  • 00:04:00
    on the script the cast included 34
  • 00:04:02
    nationalities but what truly engaged
  • 00:04:04
    international audiences in Casablanca
  • 00:04:06
    was not the dialects but the way the
  • 00:04:08
    picture was directed lit photographed
  • 00:04:11
    acted and edited the style of Hollywood
  • 00:04:14
    filmmaking at its height so effortless
  • 00:04:17
    so masterful that it's often invisible
  • 00:04:20
    to the audience the way I was brought up
  • 00:04:31
    to think the only thing that should be
  • 00:04:33
    left on the screen is the story and the
  • 00:04:35
    actors and everybody else should just
  • 00:04:37
    disappear
  • 00:04:38
    because it's deceptive because it's more
  • 00:04:40
    subtle it's harder to see but it's not
  • 00:04:42
    invisible if you learn how to look at it
  • 00:04:44
    it's not invisible it's very very it's
  • 00:04:46
    very precise and and and really very
  • 00:04:49
    artful cameraman like Harry straddling
  • 00:04:51
    that I began within Boris Kaufman the
  • 00:04:53
    whole point was to do something so well
  • 00:04:56
    that nobody noticed what you did camera
  • 00:04:58
    technique grew into a set of rules that
  • 00:05:01
    while an image could be beautiful it
  • 00:05:03
    wasn't to be so beautiful as to draw
  • 00:05:05
    attention to itself nor should the
  • 00:05:07
    technique of camera movement nor cutting
  • 00:05:09
    draw attention to herself I remember a
  • 00:05:11
    very sweet editor who used to do and
  • 00:05:13
    Miller pictures at Columbia when I was
  • 00:05:16
    starting out and he would bring me in
  • 00:05:18
    and show me now you always start with a
  • 00:05:20
    long shot and then you work your way
  • 00:05:22
    into the closer shots and then you can
  • 00:05:23
    go over shoulder if you have them and
  • 00:05:25
    then close-ups in other words you were
  • 00:05:26
    taught a formal way
  • 00:05:29
    ah
  • 00:05:32
    he's looking at you kid
  • 00:05:38
    his polished surface became much more
  • 00:05:41
    important that the audience wasn't to
  • 00:05:42
    notice cuts the audience wasn't to
  • 00:05:44
    notice camera movement and all this
  • 00:05:45
    which was to the good in terms of not
  • 00:05:47
    interrupting the story what I learned
  • 00:05:48
    was that what you have to do is to try
  • 00:05:51
    to make editing seamless you should
  • 00:05:54
    never be aware of cuts you want to feel
  • 00:05:57
    as though that scene is taking place in
  • 00:05:58
    front of your eyes as you speak and
  • 00:06:00
    you're looking at a proscenium arch but
  • 00:06:02
    you're not looking at a proscenium arch
  • 00:06:03
    you are much closer you're much more
  • 00:06:05
    involved you're within the proscenium
  • 00:06:06
    arch so that in some sense the style
  • 00:06:11
    becomes illusionistic
  • 00:06:13
    [Music]
  • 00:06:18
    yes I'm ready the style is saying come
  • 00:06:22
    into this world
  • 00:06:23
    eirick
  • 00:06:25
    [Music]
  • 00:06:28
    and a hurry you missed that plane now
  • 00:06:30
    the audience isn't distracted from
  • 00:06:32
    following the story in the characters
  • 00:06:34
    flow of motion by an uncertainty about
  • 00:06:37
    the style itself the invisible style of
  • 00:06:41
    storytelling perfected in Casablanca was
  • 00:06:44
    reproduced in picture after picture but
  • 00:06:46
    Hollywood was also flexible enough to
  • 00:06:48
    encourage its best directors to bring
  • 00:06:50
    their own individual flair and
  • 00:06:52
    eccentricity of the house studio style
