Grammar of
the Film Language is a unique guide to the visual narrative
techniques that form the “language” of
filmmaking. This language is basic to the very positioning
and moving of players and cameras, as well as the sequencing
and pacing of images. It does not date as new technologies
alter the means of capturing images on film and tape.
The guidelines offered here will inform almost every
choice that the director, the cinematographer, and the
editor will make. Through lucid text and more than 1,500
illustrations, Arijon presents visual narrative formulas
that will enlighten anyone involved in the film and tape
industry (including producers, writers, and animators).
The hardcover edition of this magnum opus has found an
avid audience among student and professional filmmakers
everywhere. Now, for the first time, it is available
in a
reasonably-priced paperback edition.
