I just started reading "Cinematic Storytelling" and already I've learned a lot (this despite having spent a year at AFI, reading just about every classic filmmaking book out there, and having already directed two features and starting a third). If you're thinking of going to film school, or making a film, read this book. It might be all you need.

As a Line producer/Unit Production Manager (DGA) in the film industry, I wish more first time directors - and even seasoned ones - had books like this sitting on their shelves. They might learn a few more techniques about planning shots and informing the crew to make for a more efficient, cost-effective production. That time and money could always be used to make the film better in another aspect. Unfortunately, some directors believe that giving information to the Keys and the crew gives away their Directorial vision. They are 'organic' directors which means that they have the brains of a potato. Sharing the vision gets a better vision from the Keys and the crew. Worthwhile Reference.

Cinematic Storytelling is a key tool for filmakers and screenwriters trying to translate their skills to the visual realm of filmaking. The author combines examples from great films throughout history along with a discussion of human perceptions to illustrate how certain visual actions illicit deep reactions in audiences without words. Although, geared for aspiring filmakers, as a screenwriter I found the discussions very thought provoking and useful in my efforts to more fully understand how to create evocative visual imagery and get across important concepts and messages through visual means. I found this book very inspiring and have consulted it frequently in my screenwriting endeavors. Kudos to the author for providing a no nonsense, useful guide to creating truly visual films and screenplays.

This is a great book for anyone interested in cinematography and script writing. Each chapter contains script examples and movie shots. The author makes a great job explaining the concepts in a concise manner.
