This old standard is in print in five languages. It has been used as a textbook for film and television schools.
The book describes how to use camera angles and motion to tell your story, without confusing your audience. It addresses issues
such as continuity, action and reaction and parallel editing. It describes effective camera movement and the effects of different
types of movement on the flow of the narrative and of action. Arijon also covers multiple cameras, and finally the choreographed
movement of multiple cameras and subjects.
Not solely based in the abstract, the book uses over 1500 illustrations to convey examples of practical value in everyday filmaking,
and even filmwatching. No film enthusiast or producer at any level will fail to be enriched by attention to this text.
This is a top recommendation.
