THE FIVE C’S OF CINEMATOGRAPHY
Motion Picture Filming Techniques
Joseph V. Mascelli, 252 pages, 81/2x11, illus., index, 1-879505-41-X, $29.95 paper
“Mr. Mascelli provides the attentive reader with the equivalent of a complete
course in filmmaking.”
— New York Times
  
   
 

The Five C’s is one of the most widely respected books on filmmaking ever published. With the aid of hundreds of photographers and diagrams, it clearly and concisely presents the essential concepts and techniques of motion picture camerawork and the allied areas of filmmaking that they interact with and impact.

Branching out from five central subject areas, the five C’s—Camera Angles, Continuity, Cutting, Close-ups, Composition—Mascelli offers filmmakers a detailed and practical course in visual thinking.

Included are discussions of

• Cinematic time and space
• Compositional rules
• Point-of-view
• Camera height and angle
• Master scenes
• Types of editing
• Screen direction
… and much more.

This first paperback edition of The Fives C’s allows Mascelli to reach a whole new generation with his timeless and indispensable insights on the fundamentals of filmmaking.
Joseph V. Mascelli, an acclaimed cinematographer, filmed theatrical features, documentaries, training films, television commercials and television series. He wrote extensively about camera work for photographic magazines and trade journals, was an editor of the American Cinematographer Manual, and lectured on cinematography at Loyola University of Los Angeles.
