FILMMAKING ESSENTIALS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS<\/h1>\n

Assuming you\u2019ve mastered the basics of still photography, Eduardo Angel exposes you to those things that still photographers don\u2019t have to concern themselves with\u2026audio, movement, continuity, pacing, music and more.<\/p>\n

\"Filmmaking<\/a><\/p>\n

Each craft has its own language and filmmaking is no different.\u00a0 Start in chapter one with terms you may have never heard before and learn the five C\u2019s of cinematography<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Filmmaking<\/a><\/p>\n

From pre-production<\/b> checklists to location scouting, you\u2019ll do well to take notes in Chapter two.\u00a0 Chapter three \u2013 Filmmaking Styles starts the creative juices flowing with script writing styles<\/b>, frame rates and shutter speeds, while chapter four is another way of looking at composition<\/b>. Spoiler alert, you need to remember more than just the \u201crule of thirds\u201d when shooting video.<\/p>\n

\"Filmmaking<\/a><\/p>\n

Camera movement<\/b> \u2013 intended and unintended, is the gist of chapter 5. By the time you finished this chapter, you\u2019ll appreciate your dolly, gimbal and sliders for all they can contribute.<\/p>\n

\"Filmmaking<\/a><\/p>\n

Lighting <\/b>follows with, you guessed it, all the reasons LED is the way to go.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t guess these three rules for low-budget films.<\/strong><\/em><\/div><\/div><\/h2>\n

Audio,<\/b> for my money, is the most crucial tool of filmmaking. No one I know will watch a video for more than 60 seconds if the audio is terrible.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got to get it right, and page 92 gives you three unexpected rules for low-budget films.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Music soundtracks<\/b> can make even the dullest documentary enjoyable, and page 104 has recommendations for dozens of free audio tracks that don\u2019t break copyright regulations.<\/p>\n

With even more tips on editing,<\/b> smartphone apps, color correction and film distribution, this easy-to-understand book has a wealth of information packed into its 185 pages.\u00a0 Get it in print, eBook or a combo pack of each from Rocky Nook<\/a>, the publisher.<\/p>\n
