## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Techniques for the Beginning Filmmaker
*by S***E on December 13, 2018*

This was a gift for a friend of mine that had been in the film industry for many years, but was starting to get more experience behind the camera. I also went through the book, and noticed plenty of tips and techniques for anyone relatively new to directing or camera work. But there also seems to be a bit that would still be helpful to experienced directors, as well.Did it help my friend? He went from helping with small, shoestring-budget flicks, to directing movies with a decent budget. So I would say that the book definitely served its purpose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great concept
*by J***D on May 10, 2012*

I haven't sat down and read this book straight through yet, but that isn't necessarily the intent either. This is a reference book and actually a quite ingenious tool. It's like training wheels for a new director or DP - when breaking down a script for a story board or shot list, you can simply skim through the book for the type of scene you are doing and find the various shot setups with full descriptions of how they are used and what they do to convey the different emotions you would be going for in the scene. There are pictures everywhere that clearly illustrate the setups, so it is easy to navigate the book and quickly understand the technique. The author recommends buying several copies for crew members and actually using it on set for reference to the look you are building. I don't know if that would work on a lot of sets, but indie projects and student films with inexperienced crews could greatly benefit from that kind of reference point. I'm definitely going to use it liberally in storyboarding an upcoming short film.The bottom line is, I can't think of any reason not to have this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, detailed and easy to follow
*by L***S on January 17, 2014*

I've been a professional photographer for many years and was interested in translating "still" shots into film/digital live motion. I understand the lighting fundamentals and scene set-ups as well as many DOF applications and post photo retouches. Although this book doesn't go into the technical lighting and DOP / shutter speed details of shooting film/digital, it makes up for that by demonstrating camera set-up and movement and how these kinds of shots set certain moods or lead ins for establishing scenes.Considering this, I must say that those that have an understanding of lighting and focal length, shutter speed, etc.(fundamental photo and video theory), will benefit the most from this book. If you're a novice, I recommend carefully looking at the illustrative photos and thinking more about how the lighting and DOP, etc. contribute to "selling" the shot and also pick-up a book on lighting and scene set-up fundamentals.In general, great book that dissects the many camera technique and movements used in MANY if not all movies that we take for granted. Also has great real world examples to convey that technique so you can view it for yourself if you're ambitious enough.
