| Summary: | "The newly-revised and updated fifth edition of Grammar of the Shot teaches readers theoretical principles behind successful visual communication in motion media through discussions of shot composition, depth cues, lens choices, lighting, screen direction, camera movement, and shooting for editing. Many general practices are outlined that will help readers create rich, multi-layered visuals. Designed as an easy-to-use reference, this book presents each topic succinctly with clear photographs and diagrams illustrating key concepts, practical exercises, and quiz questions, and is a staple of any filmmaker's library. This fifth edition includes an updated companion website, thorough chapter content reviews, exercises, quizzes, and a new section, Principles in Practice (PIPs). These PIPs present unique scenarios that a video maker may encounter in their own work and offer creative solutions and advice on how one might decide to handle them. Together with its companion volume, Grammar of the Edit, the core concepts discussed in these books offer concise and practical resources for both experienced and aspiring filmmakers"-- |
