A Director’s Method for Film and Television (1992) presents the ‘cinematic language’ approach to directing for film and television directors. It shows how the viewer perceives the nuances of the various pictures used to tell the story, and how movement within the frame creates drama and development. It outlines the techniques necessary to maximize each and every shot and create professional results.
