Cinematography for Directors (2nd Edition)

Learn how to master light and darkness.

Through balancing interviews with working ASC cinematographers and the technical, aesthetic and historical side of cinematography, this text guides directors toward a more powerful collaboration with their closest ally, the cinematographer.

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. 

Jacqueline Frost has been teaching the language of motion pictures—production,
history, and cinematography—for thirty years. Currently a full professor at
California State University, Fullerton, she is also an adjunct professor at Fairleigh
Dickinson University in Madison, NJ.
