The shots may look good, but they will not serve the story until the composition, lenses, and lighting express, enhance, and reveal the underlying emotions and subtext of the story. By making physical the ideas and emotions of the story, the cinematographer supports blocking as a visual form of the story through these tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than delve into technical training, \u003ci\u003eBasic Cinematography\u003c\/i\u003e helps to train the eye and heart of cinematographers as visual storytellers, providing them with a strong foundation for their work, so that they're ready with creative ideas and choices on set in order to make compelling images that support the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes tools, tables, and worksheets on how to enhance students and experienced filmmakers with strong visual st\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The most appealing aspect of \u003ci\u003eBasic Cinematography\u003c\/i\u003e is its focus on a holistic, story-driven approach to introductory cinematography material, rather than the heavily technical explanations which dominate many text books. The author divides the discipline into useful and distinct creative processes across several chapters, illustrating each with a case study, which makes the craft easily accessible for a beginning filmmaker. The practice of cinematography involves tools and techniques that are changing at an increasingly rapid rate so this book’s emphasis on visual storytelling and creative principles is a great addition to the field that will continue to be relevant in cinematography education for many years.\"\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Nevill,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCinematographer and Assistant Professor at San Francisco State University\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This new book on cinematography is an ideal complement to the well-known ones that are widely used in academia.
