Summary

"Directly addressing how filmmakers can craft visually powerful films through practical skills that can be used throughout the filmmaking process, author Blain Brown explores how we use space, color, camera angles, composition, motion, POV and all the dozens of other methods in the day-to-day work of telling stories visually. Brown interrogates not only the tangible aspects of visual storytelling, but also the more abstract areas as well including visual metaphor, manipulating time and space, and visual subtext. It covers all the aspects of visual storytelling that directors, cinematographers, and editor use to tell stories visually and includes over 450 colour images to illustrate how the desired visual effect is achieved. Written by a working filmmaker with over 30 years' experience as a director and cinematographer, this book looks at both the how and the why of visual storytelling, consistently drawing on the day-to-day real-world environment of making a film. Ideal for intermediate and advanced students of filmmaking as well as professionals working in the industry"-- Provided by publisher.
