A practical how-to guide with plenty of examples,
By S. Casner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Film Directing Cinematic Motion: A Workshop for Staging Scenes (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning to compose better pictures of any kind. This unusual book takes a "through-the-lens" approach to presenting ideas about how to compose pictures. This is a refreshing break from abstract "art-babble" discussions that offer the reader little practical guidance about where to point the camera. In addition to video and film, still photographers will find this book especially interesting.

This review is from: Film Directing Cinematic Motion: A Workshop for Staging Scenes (Paperback)
This fine, detailed & user-friendly book opens up a director's view of the world of cinematic movement & how it relates to good story-telling through film. Staging scenes, blocking, camera movement, choreography of scene movent, reverse shots, camera angles, tracking, exterior & interior shooting, staging multiple characters in a scene...it's all here, with drawings that clearly illustrate the informative text.
