Focal Press Book: Digital Cinematography: Fundamentals, Tools, Techniques, and Workflows

In Digital Cinematography: Fundamentals, Tools, Techniques, and Workflows from Focal Press, author David Stump discusses how the modern cinematographer is equal parts artist, technician, and business-person and needs to master the arts of lighting, composition, framing and other aesthetic considerations. The cinematographer must be well versed with the technology of digital cameras, recorders, and workflows, and must know how to choose the right tools (within their budget) to get the job done. This book focuses primarily on the tools and technology of the trade, looking at how digital cameras work, the ramifications of choosing one camera versus another, and how those choices help creative cinematographers to tell a story.
