The second edition of this tutorial on camera angles, setups, framing and composition in film has been expanded to include new examples from recent movies, and 25 new camera techniques and innovations. Vineyard, who has written about the medium in the past, starts with a basic review of film techniques (pan, tilt, etc.) and then uses hundreds of storyboard illustrations to explain more complicated techniques such as creating tension through editing and breaking down the "fourth wall." Written for novice filmmakers and students, this book also contains an index that matches the type of shot to specific examples in famous films.
