Nice hints for teachers as wellBy Wayne Errol BowenSome interesting insights backed up with clips to actual scenes from real movies that are analyzed and broken down in the book. I learnt quite a bit. A book I will probably re-read a few times until it all becomes automatic. Nice hints for teachers as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I highly recommend this book for any serious student of filmBy C. YorkI highly recommend this book for any serious student of film. And if you are a film lover; then you should get this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. GOOD BOOK with insights but not a very polished written book reflecting to its titleBy kreuzLong story short; I recommend this book; you will find a lot of useful information on directing cameras. But the techniques and rules mentioned are more on the surface and lack of depth in terms of building the design of camera movements upon your materials.
