Get Down with the Lingo

As an amateur photographer, this book has definitely helped me in learning how to frame my shots and what the overall effect of my choices are. Definitely something to pick up if you're interested in photography, film or directing.

This book, shall we say, 'cuts to the chase scene' of what to look for in a good shot. Rather than contain lots of useless trivia look so many other books on filmaking and editing ["here's what a movieola looks like...it was invented in 1272 by Sir Random Dingleberry...", etc.], this book describes in no uncertain terms what ABSOLUTELY MUST BE IN EACH AND EVERY SHOT -- so that the successful film-maker can build a story that flows smoothly. This book will help you to be artistic, but will also help you to avoid confusing your audience. A small book that is easily read in the space of an hour, the student or novice film-maker will find himself using it as a quick reference many times over. Highly recommended.
