Shooting under available light gives exposure, but lacks depth, contrast, contour, atmosphere and often separation. The story could be the greatest in the world, but if the lighting is poor viewers will assume it's amateurish and not take it seriously. Feature films and TV shows, commercials and industrial videos, reality TV and documentaries, even event and wedding videos tell stories. Good lighting can make them look real, while real lighting often makes them look fake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLighting for Cinematography, the first volume in the new CineTech Guides to the Film Crafts series, is the indispensable guide for film and video lighting. Written by veteran gaffer and cinematographer David Landau, the book helps the reader create lighting that supports the emotional moment of the scene, contributes to the atmosphere of the story and augments an artistic style. Structured to mimic a 14 week semester, the chapters cover such things as lighting for movement, working with windows, night lighting, lighting the three plains of action and non-fiction lighting. Every chapter includes stills, lighting diagrams and key advice from professionals in the field, as well as lighting exercises to help the reader put into practice what was covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewww.lightingforcinematography.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourth Wall Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57995682120015,"sku":"9781628926927","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/6028\/1679\/files\/9781628926927.jpg?v=1781955598"},{"product_id":"painting-with-light","title":"Painting With Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew cinematographers have had as decisive an impact on the cinematic medium as John Alton. Best known for his highly stylized film noir classics T-Men, He Walked by Night, and The Big Combo, Alton earned a reputation during the 1940s and 1950s as one of Hollywood's consummate craftsmen through his visual signature of crisp shadows and sculpted beams of light. No less renowned for his virtuoso color cinematography and deft appropriation of widescreen and Technicolor, he earned an Academy Award in 1951 for his work on the musical An American in Paris. First published in 1949, Painting With Light remains one of the few truly canonical statements on the art of motion picture photography, an unrivaled historical document on the workings of postwar American cinema. In simple, non-technical language, Alton explains the job of the cinematographer and explores how lighting, camera techniques, and choice of locations determine the visual mood of film. Todd McCarthy's introduction provides an overview of Alton's biography and career and explores the influence of his work on contemporary cinematography and the foreword, written expressly for this edition by award-winning cinematographer John Bailey, explores Alton’s often contentious relationships with colleagues, the American Society of Cinematographers, and the movie industry itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fourth Wall Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58116655939919,"sku":"9780520275843","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/6028\/1679\/files\/9780520275843.jpg?v=1782985520"},{"product_id":"working-in-film-television-and-entertainment","title":"Working in Film, Television and Entertainment","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorking in Film, Television, and Entertainment provides a personalized roadmap for navigating job prospects in the competitive film and television industry, offering insights and tools from a professional to help aspiring content creators find their right fit and build successful careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive guide fills a critical gap in career resources with tried-and-tested application strategies that help readers “walk the walk” in the film industry.
