ABSTRACT

Created for the Uses of Cinema conference (SSAAANZ, Monash University, November 2018), the video Film for a Purpose (13 minutes, 2018) offers a précis of my research with the ARC Discovery project ‘Utilitarian film in Australia 1945-1980'. The video essay ironically deploys certain tropes of the sponsored film - the green screen, the authoritative presenter, the wallto-wall narration, the literal illustration, etc. - in its exposition of the studies cited. An overview of the National Archives of Australia (NAA) where moving image collections of Australian government agencies are collected then drills down to films from the CSIRO (Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organisation) Film Unit. Uses of Cinema then turns to films of the Australian labour movement through the lens of Tom Zubrycki's controversial documentary film history of the Australian trade union movement, Amongst Equals (1986-1991). Each case study brings to light certain problems pertinent to the broader category: the ‘utilitarian film', in the Australian context. Finally a fourth research paper, completed after 2018, examines the surveillance image and its uses in political propaganda and investigative documentary. This ‘pictorial introduction' lightly annotates a selection of freeze frames from the film, explicating aspects of their ‘screen design’ and treatment.

有目的的电影:图片介绍

摘要

为电影的使用会议(SSAAANZ,莫纳什大学,2018 年 11 月)创建的视频 Film for a Purpose(13 分钟,2018 年)提供了我对 ARC Discovery 项目“1945-1980 年澳大利亚功利主义电影”的研究概要。视频文章讽刺地运用了赞助电影的某些比喻——绿幕、权威主持人、逐墙叙述、文字插图等——在其对所引用研究的阐述中。澳大利亚国家档案馆 (NAA) 的概述收集了澳大利亚政府机构的移动图像集,然后深入到 CSIRO(英联邦科学与工业研究组织)电影部门的电影。然后,电影的用途转向通过汤姆·祖布里奇 (Tom Zubrycki) 的镜头拍摄澳大利亚劳工运动的电影 一部关于澳大利亚工会运动的有争议的纪录片,《平等之间》(1986-1991)。每个案例研究都揭示了与更广泛类别相关的某些问题:澳大利亚背景下的“功利电影”。最后,第四篇研究论文于 2018 年完成,探讨了监控图像及其在政治宣传和调查纪录片中的用途。这张“图片介绍”对电影中精选的定格画面进行了简单的注释,解释了它们的“屏幕设计”和处理方式。检查监视图像及其在政治宣传和调查纪录片中的用途。这张“图片介绍”对电影中精选的定格画面进行了简单的注释,解释了它们的“屏幕设计”和处理方式。检查监视图像及其在政治宣传和调查纪录片中的用途。这张“图片介绍”对电影中精选的定格画面进行了简单的注释,解释了它们的“屏幕设计”和处理方式。
