Providing a solid grounding in the tools, techniques, and processes of narrative film, this comprehensive manual covers all the essentials whilst foregrounding artistic vision throughout. Gustavo Mercado joins Hurbis-Cherrier to walk the reader through every step of the process - from the transformation of an idea into a cinematic story, to the intricacies of promotion and distribution.
Key features include:
- Comprehensive technical information on video production and postproduction tools, allowing filmmakers to express themselves with any camera, in any format, and on any budget
- An emphasis on the collaborative filmmaking process, including the responsibilities and creative contributions of every principal member of the crew and cast
- A focus on learning to work successfully with available resources (time, equipment, budget, personnel, etc.) in order to turn limitations into opportunities
- Updated digital filmmaking workflow breakdowns for Rec. 709 HD, Log Format, and D-Cinema productions
- Substantial coverage of the sound tools and techniques used in film production and the creative impact of postproduction sound design
- An extensive discussion of digital cinematography fundamentals, including essential lighting and exposure control tools, common gamma profiles, the use of LUTs, and the role of color grading
- Abundant examples referencing contemporary and classic films from around the world
- Indispensible information on production safety, team etiquette, and set procedures
- A robust companion website that includes eight award-winning example short films; interactive and high-resolution figures; extra tachnical chapters; forms and logs for preproduction, production, and postproduction; video examples that illustrate key concepts found within the book, and more
The fourth edition has been fully revised and includes updates to video formats, camera technology, and lighting tools; expanded sections on multi-camera shooting, smartphone filmmaking, and drone cinematography; a new example short film for streaming and analysis; discussions on emerging AI applications for film production; additional information and resources on film set safety including best practices for intimacy scenes; and updates to contemporary funding, and distribution strategies.
Whether using it in the classroom or looking for a comprehensive reference, Voice & Vision details all that's needed to know about the filmmaking process, delivered in an accessible and reader-friendly format.
