The filmmaker's eye

About this book

While some cinematography books touch on the use of different lenses, this book treats the topic with the breadth it commands. The text shows readers in a visually-stunning way how crucial lens selection is to the design and intentions of a filmmaker's visual story. Scenes from a wide range of movies are shown in 4-colour, and then broken down to convey what lens was used, why it was used, and how the reader can use that lens on their own film to achieve the look, story, and emotions they seek.
