Shot Psychology is an introductory body of knowledge that filmmakers can use to enhance the expressive power of their work.

The book reviews over 300 filmmaking techniques and concepts with their associated effects and organizes them in an easy-to-access reference guide.

One of the main features in the book is the Master List, which cross-references each technique to its associated effect. In this way, a filmmaker can easily and quickly see how different techniques might work together to intensify the same emotion or feeling. As the book explains, when techniques are combined with other techniques that have the same general effect, the effect can be amplified. The main purpose of the Master List is to facilitate this type of creative process. It is designed so a filmmaker can thoughtfully evaluate all the techniques associated with any given effect and choose the best one or the best combination of techniques to achieve the greatest possible effect. (Please note: The Master List provides a page number for each individual technique but that is only for reference if needed and is not the primary purpose of the list itself.)
