“An obvious trend of the last decade is that cinematography is returning to its photographic primacy, moving away from literature, defining itself as a plastic, painterly art. And the artistic style of the operator writing with the camera today largely determines the quality of the picture. His co-authorship with the playwright and director is undeniable, becoming almost defining.” — ALEXANDER MINDAZDE Creating video is a true art. But even the most talented director or skilled editor will not save the video if the operator does not know what he is doing. It is not enough to simply turn on the camera; creating video is a painstaking, delicate job that requires not only talent but also knowledge. “Survival Guide for Videographers” is not just a textbook or a collection of theory. It is a detailed illustrated alphabet of video creation. The author breaks down all stages of shooting step by step, from the technical features of the equipment to team selection. • Basic concepts and choice of equipment. • Working with sound and light. • What types of lenses there are and what they are for. • Composition of the frame and control of the gaze. • Nuances when shooting dialogue. • Creating movement in the frame. And, most importantly, you will learn how to shoot qualitatively without huge amounts of money! How to shoot from a helicopter? We don’t have money! How to shoot a chase without a stuntman? How to convince everyone that the filming was in New York? Oh! Ludok is about to reveal one of his secrets. There will be no boring moral lessons or grandiose discussions about cinema. Do you want to shoot a movie yourself? Then let's get to work!
