Chapter Titles
We begin with our human disposition to optical illusions and some early filmmakers who developed tools and techniques that influence our emotions.
These discoveries evolved into the visual language of film that filmmakers use today, which the student begins to apply in the very first chapter, to feel the impact of a well-planned cut.
Subsequent chapters teach this language progressively and more deeply, building skills through illustration and frequent practice from a director’s point of view.
By the end, you’ll have cultivated a lifelong creative toolbox—your own knowledge, instincts, and talent from which to draw as you enter the profession with a significant understanding of the craft.
