MasterShots Vol 1: 100 Advanced Camera Techniques to Get an Expensive Look on Your LowBudget Movie: 100 Advanced Camera Techniques to Get an Expensive Look on Your Low-budget Movie Kindle Edition

Master shots is an INCREDIBLE book for a beginner / intermediate filmmaker. It does not spend any time going on and on about the history and reasoning for doing this or that. It just starts page 1 – to do this effect put the camera here, put the actors there, move the camera this way, change the focus in this way as you do it. The explanation for each scene that it goes into is two or three pages long. Then it starts the next scene example. The camera here, the actors there... Sometimes a snippet of the psychology behind doing something a certain way.Professional / advanced filmmakers maybe would not get a lot out of this because this is probably things they already know or already do. But if you have a little bit of time to read, it would be worth it for them because they may pick up some little idea in here that works out great for them. I'm a beginner level but just reading the book stirred some ideas in my mind that were not even given in the book. So for this reason they may also like it. The intro to the book suggested this as well and it was right.

Excellent for filmmakers who REALLY want to learn their craft and not just play around!Excellent book for anyone behind the camera, thought provoking and practical reading and in practice.

Great product, price and delivery. Easy to follow instructions very informative

I should have put 2 and 2 together and realized that a book about camera shots using photographs and useless 3d modeling with arrows was a waste of time and money. You really need to study film by watching film - at least in regard to this topic.

I really like this series of books. Between the three books in this series over 300 camera shots are covered. If you are shooting a film, whether it’s a short, feature, no budget or big budget, this series of books can help you figure out your shot-list. I do wish the pictures were better. They are all black and white, even one in particular that discusses using color in your shot. Other than that a detailed reference series that will be useful to all filmmakers and video makers.

I am a television student at the moment and I've found this book to be an excellent buy. The techniques in this book make you view camera work in a different way; glad I bought it.

Ich finde dieses Buch sehr hilfreich. Man findet sofort was an sucht und muß sich nicht erst durch theoretisches und intellektuelles gerede kämpfen.
