This is why they’re called motion pictures!

On motion picture and television sets today the director spends 90% of his time directing the camera. Professional actors come to set prepared to direct themselves. In spite of this recent change, 90% of all books on directing do not teach specifically how to direct the camera.

Directing the Camera fills that void by teaching the elements of craft that contemporary directors use to give their films the visually dynamic look preferred by audiences today.
