Hello to all,
A lot of people have asked me by e-mail to advise them what were good books to learn the cinema.
So I had the idea of concocting from time to time of the chronicles books that will help you increase your skills !
For this first column, I’ve opted for the e-book : Choose the purpose you like, the book of Laurent Breillat, photographer and webmaster of the blog (learn photography). This is Laurent and his blog inspired me to create (learn the cinema).
“Choose the purpose you like it’: a book that speaks not only to the photographers
First of all, you are probably wondering why I chose to reviewing a book written by a photographer. I did this for several reasons :
- Because photography and cinema are intimately linked, particularly in terms of the rules of optics;
- Because there are many people interested in cinema that are also involved in the photography;
- Because that increase their skills in photography is equivalent also to increase his skills in cinema, and that it is often easier to start with the photography;
- Because cameras are increasingly present in the video and they are a more credible and a good idea for the amateur, semi-pro and even professional tight budget;
- Because the book of Lawrence is excellent and it deserves that we pay attention to
One could believe that to Choose the purpose you like is a simple guide of the best goals of the market, well, no !
It is much more than that. You will have the right to a true course on optics with many concepts explained : focal length, sensor size, the difference between a fixed focal length and a zoom, etc
In addition, this book will help you to understand your needs in terms of objectives. It is indeed very well detailed. Laurent takes care of you and give you the best advice taking into account the many areas of photography : portraits, urban landscapes, budgetary constraints and the different technical constraints.
And if you ever do not know what are your real needs, this is not serious. In the course of this book, you will arrive precisely at the set.
