Introduction to Cinematography offers a practical, stage-by-stage guide to learning, combining and using the creative and technical aspects of cinematography. Building from a skills-based approach focused on professional practice, cinematographer and award-winning author Tania Hoser provides a step-by-step introduction for both cinematographers and camera assistants to the techniques, processes and procedures of working with cameras, lenses and light.

Building on the success of the first book, this second edition adds all-new chapters on virtual production and extended reality, as well as a significant increase in low-budget examples and case studies, to accommodate every reader.

Richly illustrated, the book incorporates exercises and sample scripts throughout, exploring light, color, movement and the language of the lens. The principles and techniques of shaping and controlling light are applied to working with natural light and film lamps and, as with all areas of cinematography, show both high-end and low-budget options.

This makes the second edition of Introduction to Cinematography the most up-to-date and essential resource for anyone aiming to acquire the full range of cinematography skills, allowing seamless progression from exercises through to full feature shoots. Assessment rubrics also provide a framework to measure progress as the readerâs ability to visually interpret scripts and enhance the director''s vision develops.

Industry Reviews

Tania Freimuth, DP and Cinematography Specialist Tutor at the London Film Academy

Tania Hosers 'Introduction to cinematography, learning through practice' is like film school in a book. It is an inspiring and engaging in-depth resource that, through a series of well thought out exercises, creates the perfect balance between learning the art and the craft of cinematography.

Deland Nuse, Director/Cinematographer; Lecturer, Department of Film, Television and Digital Media, UCLA

One of the most practical and useful books on the art and technique of cinematography for students and working professionals that we have. I highly recommend Tania Hoser's book for teachers and students of cinematography.

Louise Ready-Syrat, University of Salford

There is a lot of detail in each chapter, demonstrating the writer's experience of working on set, as well as lots of little nuances that only someone who is working in the industry would know and can pass on. So many that even I forgot many of them...!
