This is a good starting point book and/or a reference book. Let's be honest... we're not going to learn how to shoot a film just by reading a book on cinematography. Experience is the best way to learn, which is largely how I learned how to shoot film.

This book will provide you with a lot of technical information, which is why I slated it as a good reference book. Little things about color temperature, filters, film speeds, lenses, etc. There are some useful diagrams and photographs in the book, and it is kind of "matter of factly" written.

I give it only three stars because though it is a decent book... its competitor "Cinematography: Theory and Practice" by Brown is much more informative, much better written and organized, and perhaps the most important, has a myriad film stills as reference.

For anyone trying to get some grass roots of cinematography, this is the best place to start. It's a great reference as you progress as a cinematographer, as well.

this book is great it gets into detail about every thing u can imagen in the film production prosses....well exept for special effects but other than that this is the book for any Film student who wants to have a chance of making it big

it was diliverd fast and the quality perfect

This has been a film orentated clasic for a long time. It was overdue for an update and David Mullen did an excellent job, including Digital Intermediate and other much needed touches. This makes for a very good film orented book

item did not come as soon as I wanted, and I was unsure of the hold up. But the book itself is very informative and is teaching me very practical information

SIR

ITS VERY SAD THAT THE BOOK HAS NOT REACHED ME. I AM A TEACHER AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE LOSS......
