Motion Picture Filming Techniques

The five C's: camera angles, continuity, cutting, close-ups, and composition. This book
takes the filmmaker through understanding exactly what goes into getting the best image
imaginable onto film. The true treasure of this book is that is was written long ago
enough that the author does not feel bound to polical writing: in this authors world
there are black and white rules of what is acceptable and unacceptable. While "creative-
types" may find his insistance on what can be done insulting to their vision, I think we
can all agree that if you are going to break the rules, it is important to know them.
If you read this book and study it, then you will KNOW the rules and UNDERSTAND when,
why, and where you need to break them. It is a delightful read, filled with information,
and though written in the 1960's... the concepts are timeless and very applicable to
filmmakers in the 2000's.
