Customer Reviews: Essential! October 22, 2006 8 out of 12 found this review helpful In short: If you only want to have just ONE book on cinematography, get THIS ONE! Compehensive content, interesting, entertaining to read with lots of illustrations, yet very professional. Essential reading. July 28, 2003 28 out of 29 found this review helpful This excellent book should be mandatory reading for everybody who's about to make a short film. Having watched hundreds, if not thousands, of short films in recent years, I know that would-be directors are so keen to be original, that they make their first few films without having the first clue about film-making. Cinematography (Blain Brown) provides the reader with the technical knowledge required to communicate with a director of photgraphy, to create a story through images. Beautifully illustrated, it's a concise presentation of the basic principles behind shooting a film. Many amateurs assume that cinematography is either 'getting the camera right' (exposure, focus etc), or 'setting up pretty shots' (composition, framing etc.) Thankfully, this book shows how much more is involved. It explains everythign so clearly you only need to read it once, but you'll probably use it as a refence manual from time to time.
