Film Directing: Cinematic Motion (2nd Edition)

Cinematic Motion has helped directors create a personal camera style and master complex staging challenges for over a decade.

Since digital technology has revolutionized filmmaking, this second edition adds chapters on digital visualization and script breakdown. The book uses extensive illustrations to explain how to create extended sequence shots, elaborate moving camera choreography and tracking shots with multiple story points. Interviews with top Hollywood craftspeople demonstrate how to bring sophisticated ideas to life.

Steven D. Katz is an award-winning filmmaker and writer. He is also the author of Shot by Shot, the now classic text on cinematic style and technique.
