Master Shots Vol 3: The Director's Vision: 100 Setups, Scenes and Moves for Your Breakthrough Movie Paperback – August 1, 2013

There is so much information in this book (and the other two). You could learn a lot by just going page to page, reading up about a technique and then going out and trying it out on your own. I'm learning about film-making as a hobby and so I am not willing to go spend 50k on film school, so these books are a big help on cinematography. I wish the pictures were color or at the least a bit better quality, but they do their job. Also, I feel the three books should have just been made into one and have been offered for much less than it cost to acquire the three separately. That is my only gripe, that separating them and pricing them so high is a bit of a money grab.

This book is Gold. I’m not even half way done with this book and I already feel like I’m cheating. If you need your creative ignition sparked, this book will do it for you. It’s great for Directors, cinematographers, DP’s and even story boarders. It gives you a creative in depth explaintion of the best shots of great films, if you’re a person who’s a Visual learner, this will definitely keep you reading because you can picture the information the Author is telling you in your head without even looking at the pictures. I am definitely a fan of this book.

I haven't finished it yet but this book reenforces my film making knowledge. This volume in particular is one that any budding filmmaker should pick up if they want to get a little more advanced, HOWEVER.. When it comes to making films the best way to learn is by going out and doing it. You can read 100 books on the subject but if you don't go out and do it, all that knowledge is wasted.

Another view through the directors lens without having to be on the set.I'll be writing my scripts with a better sense of visualization.

As a budding film maker I find this to be an excellent book. I was expecting that volume three would disappoint. It does not. All three volumes are different from each other. I really like the way the author translates the camera work to the feelings imparted into the viewing audience.Highly recommended.

Super handy. I have the first two books as well. I like the whole series. Very pragmatic. Gives you the information you need to get the shots you want.

An excellent reference and information source to add to your arsenal. I also had a fantastic customer service experience with a slight defect in my copy and got a replacement right away.

If you are a budding filmmaker or just someone interested in film, these series of books are worth buying. I'm not sure these books are on the kindle, but I would only buy the paper version, much easier to flip back and forth through it if you are using it for filming.

Really useful book that will show you how to get certain shots for specific context.It's a great ressource if you're looking for ideas on how to shoot certain scenes.

Points forts:•Pas cher•De nombreuses idéesPoints faibles:•Beaucoup de répétitions•Schémas en noir et blanc souvent pas très clairsEn conclusion, un livre sympa à avoir, toujours utile quand on est en manque d'inspiration mais des idées qui se répètent, un seul livre de la série suffit largement.

I'm an amateur and this series is very helpful. Logical and easy to follow. I've used them in my videos.Recommended

This book is one of a kind in itself, there is no other book like this in the market. This book talks about in details about the visual language and grammar of cinema in a very contemporary style. This book can be considered as a guide book for any Filmmaker or DOP, or for anyone who is interested in the methods and psychology of the visual language of Cinema.

Il titolo del libro basta e avanza per capire la qualità del contenuto, un manuale indispensabile e comodo da avere sempre con sé nelle occasioni di bisogno, una spinta creativa non indifferente.
