Storytelling in video is one of the most noble art forms of our time.
《The Filmmaker's Eye》 helps you harness the power of this genre by illustrating how images function to tell a story, using hundreds of images from film as examples.
It also provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the technical requirements for creating powerful and memorable images and the role each shot plays in the larger narrative scheme of a film.
Every shot in a film must be effectively chosen to become a compelling visual storyteller.
The advantages of this book are as follows:

- Introduces time-honored and proven traditional reasons for using certain types of shots.
- It shows the visual rules and technical aspects, and the cinematic techniques actually used, by explaining how shots work.
- Describes the equipment, techniques, and technical variables needed to achieve the desired shot.
- Shows examples of successfully breaking the rules for maximum expressiveness and impactful style.
