CINEMATOGRAPHY 101: Ten Essential Lessons for the Noob Cinematographer (FILMMAKING BASICS Book 3)

This kindle book is an introduction to cinematography for the novice filmmaker. It is not a highly technical or advanced textbook, but rather an easy “nuts and bolts” read, designed to be a springboard into the world of film and video lighting. Cinematography is perhaps the most mysterious of the filmmaking crafts because of the technology and equipment required to do the job. Aspiring filmmakers either love it or fear it with a passion! Once you understand the basic principles, however, it becomes a powerful tool in screen storytelling. Here is an overview of the art and craft of cinematography and how it fits into the overall scheme of making a movie. Includes a look at current technology and trends. The "ten essential lessons" are a compilation of several articles and lessons from the Film School Online website. Length: approximately 50 pages.
