The Five C's of Cinematography

Joseph V. Mascelli

To my knowledge this is the first book that has attempted to translate the many intangibles of film making into definitive explanations. I believe that this book will be truly valuable to cinematographers of limited experience, and particularly to students studying motion picture production. By understanding and applying the principles presented in this book, the reader will be able to visualize a story in motion picture terms. For, above all, it is the power of visualization that makes the successful cinematographer. - Introduction.
