Guest Illuvatar Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Hello i am a complete newbie at film making. Because i have made some pretty nice ones for my school organizations, i decide to go deeper into filmmaking. The primary thing i want to learn right now is all the different shooting styles and shooting angles, Does anyone know a place where i can find out more about them? Is there a place on the web for n00b filmmakers like me to get started? Any information would help, Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member drew_town Posted September 25, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2005 "Film Style and Technology History and Analysis" by Barry Salt is a useful book about film techniques and style, but it's not an easy read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Wilkens Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 For a very basic overview of about 100 shots, check out: Setting Up Your Shots by Jeremy Vineyard ISBN 0-941188-73-6 It gives story board style examples of shots and movies where you can see the actual technique in use. It's extremely basic but easy to thumb through for a nice overview. An older book but still a classic: The Five C's of Cinematography by Joseph Mascelli ISBN 1-879505-41-X Covers Camera angles, Continuity, Cutting, Close-Ups, and Composition. And HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Understanding Movies by Louis Giannetti ISBN 0-13-040813-1 It's a Prentice Hall film school text book loaded with great info. Good luck!
