Format:Paperback
I purchased this book after reading some of the reviews here. The book was one big disappointment, I was expecting more inspiration and good examples. The book was poorly illustrated in B/W, with many uses of virtual people. This style of publication went out in the late 1950's. I wasn't even tempted to read the book in any detail. I returned it to Amazon and received a prompt refund.

First of all the cover is deceiving ! there is not 1 colour illustration in the book at all, every single one in B&W. How many films are filmed in B&W these days. The majority are storyboard illustrations (not real people) For lighting and camera angles it is adequate at best, you would learn more watching Citizen Kane. I am a 64yr old full time student at college studying Film/TV, I cant say I have found this book to be any help (so far) maybe I will have to read it 4/5 times more, and have a specific film project that I can actually utilise some of the examples shown. Very dissapointing !

Want to create great shots?
20 July 2011
Format:Paperback
I just had the pleasure to read through Christopher Kenworthy's new book Master Shots Vol 2. To say its amazing and useful is an understatement. If you have ever wanted to create shots like the pros this is a must have reference for you. Inside are examples from movies such as Defiance, 21 grams, and 1984 plus many more. All are great storytelling shots worthy to emulate. The text will walk you though how to set up the shots and the pictures and screen grabs show are amazing references.
The 11 Chapters cover such topics as conflict, increasing tension, connecting characters, intimacy, and even making walking and talking look tremendous! For a sample of the book visit their Scribd page here. I'm sure you will agree this is a must have reference for any filmmaker!
FilmmakingCentral gives Christopher Kenworthy's new book Master Shots Vol 2 5/5 stars.

I bought this book about 2 weeks before being hired to shoot a low budget feature and it has totally changed the way I think about framing and setting up shots, it is a must buy!

Don't buy the Kindle edition
23 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the paper edition and loved it, but because I don't want to bring this book along with me on set I also bought the kindle edition. I expected the kindle edition to be like a dictionary that I could look ideas up in, but the images are way to small.You can enlarge them, but why do you need to?
The illustrations should have been placed before the text instead of after or ideally (like in the book) next to it. Reading about a setup when you can't see the illustration until after you read it doesn't make any sense and people remember pictures more than words. In the book the illustrations are on the opposite page so you can refer back and forth as you are reading. Buy the book or wait for another, updated version.
For me, what would have been useful would be to have all the illustrations as a picture book so that I quickly can look something up, then click on the image and be brought to the page that describes the shot.
Also it would have been great to have the illustrations in colour (I assume the book is black and white for cost reasons)
