-Titulo Original : Film Directing Shot By Shot - 25th Anniversary Edition Visualizing From Concept To Screen-Fabricante : Michael Wiese Productions-Descripcion Original: Review Film Directing Shot by Shot offers a good introduction to the rudiments of film production. Steven D. Katz walks his readers through the various stages of moviemaking, advising them at every turn to visualize the films they wish to produce. Katz believes that one of the chief tasks of filmmaking is to negotiate between our three-dimensional reality and the two-dimensionality of the screen. He covers the number of technical options filmmakers can use to create a satisfying flow of shots, a continuity that will make sense to viewers and aptly tell the films story. Katz provides in-depth coverage of production design, storyboarding, spatial connections, editing, scene staging, depth of frame, camera angles, point of view, and the various types of stable compositions and moving camera shots. Shot by Shot is the world’s go-to directing book, now newly updated for a special 25th Anniversary edition! The first edition sold over 250,000 copies, making it one of the bestselling books on film di-recting of all time. Aspiring directors, cinematographers, editors, and producers, many of whom are now working professionals, learned the craft of visual storytelling from Shot by Shot, the most com-plete source for preplanning the look of a movie. The book contains over 800 photos and illustrations, and is by far the most comprehensive look at shot design in print, containing storyboards from movies such as Citizen Kane, Blade Runner, Dead-pool, and Moonrise Kingdom. Also introduced is the concept of A, I, and L patterns as a way to sim-plify the hundreds of staging choices facing a director in every scene. Shot by Shot uniquely blends story analysis with compositional strategies, citing examples then il-lustrated with the storyboards used for the actual films. Throughout the book, various visual ap-proaches to short scenes are shown, exposing the directing processes of our most celebrated au-teurs including a meticulous, lavishly illustrated analysis of Steven Spielberg’s scene design for Empire of the Sun. Review Now that youve got a couple of shorts under your belt, why not get a little more analytic? Steven Katzs book gives a great breakdown of the fundamentals of film directing. Its not something you might want to start off by reading, but once you are ready to have your films take that next step this should be number one on your to do list.

ISBN: 9781615931408 Many of the things people claim to know about comedy are, in fact, myths. We’ve all heard those myths: “The letter K is funny.” “Comedy comes in threes.” “Comedy is exaggeration.” “Comedy is mechanical.” “Comedy is about feeling superior to other people.” “You have to be born funny.” “If you try to explain the joke, you’ll kill it.” “Either you’re funny, or you’re not.” And, of course, the one thing that everyone knows about comedy: “You can’t teach comedy.” YOU HAVE TO BE BORN FUNNY How are you born funny? I don’t think there’s many OBN/GYN’s who have had the experience of delivering a baby, slapping it on its behind, only to have the baby turn around and say, “Hey, how you doing? Anybody here from out of the O.R.? Hey, a funny thing happened to me on the way out of the fallopian tubes!” Somewhere between being the doctor slapping you on the butt and the Grim Reaper slapping you into a coffin, funny people somehow learn to be funny.
