Cinematography
Third
Edition
by
Kris Malkiewicz and M. David Mullen
|
Now in its third edition, this authoritative guide to filmmaking joins
the digital age with updated information on picture and sound editing,
recording, and the production of special effects, incorporating new
digital
tools and techniques that were available to only the most well-financed
studios when the second edition was published a decade ago. |
|
The focus of the book, however, is still on 16mm filmmaking in general
and the cinematographer in particular. "Film is still the primary
method
of capturing moving images and showing them in theaters," authors Kriz
Malkiewicz and M. David Mullen point out, "yet coverting that image
into
a digital format for editing, visual effects manipulation,
color-correction,
and final distribution to home video and broadcast and cable television
systems is unavoidable. Therefore, film and digital are partners more
than
competitors." |
|
The fundamental principles of photography and lighting, essential to
any
kind of filmmaking, are all carefully explained along with instruction
in camerwork, film stock, and audio recording. Most of the revisions to
this student text are in postproduction, where digitalization had made
its greatest impact. |
