Through interviews with current ASC cinematographers, and a balance between
technical, aesthetic, and historical content, this book guides the director into a
powerful collaboration with their closest on-set ally. Topics include selecting a
cinematographer, collectively discussing the script, choosing an appropriate visual
style for a film, color palette, film and digital formats, lenses, camera movement,
genres, and postproduction processes-including the digital intermediate (DI).
Interwoven are quotes from working ASC cinematographers.
