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.
