STEVEN SPIELBERGS STYLE BY STEALTH - JAMES MAIR...

This book reveals how Spielberg utilises stylistic strategies that are both unique and
innovative when considered within the context of the classical Hollywood system. James Mairata
identifies two distinct systems at work in Spielberg's application of style. One is the use of
deep space compositions and staging  a form that was commonly seen in Hollywood cinema until
the rise of the 'New Hollywood' in the early 1970s. The other system is based on the ubiquitous
shot  reverse shot arrangement most commonly used for dialogue scenes  and which Spielberg has
modified into what the author describes as wide reverses. Through the integration of both
systems  Spielberg is able to create a more complete visual sense of scenographic space and a
more comprehensive world of the narrative  while still remaining within the conventional
boundaries of classical style. The wide reverse system also permits him to present a more
highly developed version of Hollywood's conventional practice of rendering style as transparent
or unnoticed. This volume shows that this  together with the wide reverse further enables
Spielberg to create a narrative that offers the spectator both a more immersive and more
affective experience.
