## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take a century of creating movement and scene setup knowledge and put it in your hand... and your head... with this prize
*by S***R on October 5, 2014*

This is one book that lives up and exceeds the description and good things people have said about it in other reviews. For a filmmaker as any stage of their development, this is would be a wise investment that you'll go back to again and again.Movies are called "movies" because they are not static, it's about movement and the incredible exploration of all the ways you can create movement and move the storyline forward using combinations of camera setups and movement combined with actor and prop movement is truly exhaustive. You'll discover many ways you'd likely never think of to strengthen scenes using these techniques.I was amazed at the thoroughness with which Daniel brought together lessons from the days of the earliest days of film production to contemporary blockbusters to show you not one, two or five but as as many of 33 ways you can set up to shoot a particular situation in your movie.If you can't go away with new insights and ways to turn pro-forma dull into moving excitement or at least interest, then you need to check into burger flipping or something... it's that good.Whenever you are planning a shot, you'll reach for this book to review ideas and be sure you're not going to create an inadvertent problem in editing. Expect this book to sit next your desk, be dog eared and have sticky notes poking out all over.Definitely recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sexist?  Probably.  Invaluable?  Oh yeah.
*by K***T on April 18, 2005*

I have to say that the illustrations are odd. A significant number have scantily-clad women and naked women but there are also illustrations of naked men. It's kinda bizarre but if you look on the illustrations as artist sketchings of the nude form and focus on the information being presented, it's an invaluable guide to camera motivation and how to tell a story in a way that engages the audience.It's difficult to get this information from any source. Schools typically don't teach this stuff and I've never seen it presented to the depth available in this book. It's literally a linguistic guide to cinema, treating motion pictures as a language that the audience has learned from past movies, a language that's apparently innate within our brains. Aspiring filmmakers would be wise to absorb the principles in this book before spending a lot of time and money making movies.The principles in this book explain how camera shots and editing help tell your story. How to compose your shot to show a character's reaction to another character's action. How to reveal story points to the audience at the right time. How to convey time, space and relationships between characters and objects. Great stuff!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, what an education!
*by R***E on September 20, 2015*

This book is incredibly thorough. After reading just a few chapters I see television shows and movies in a completely different way. I am more cognizant of the blocking and camera set-ups that the producers are using to get their particular shots. This is a reference book I will keep close to me. The illustrations are a little dated, and in some of the illustrations the men and the women look-alike, and the men look alike as well, so you have to concentrate to understand the relative positions of the characters as the camera views change, but other than that it is five stars.
