Cinematography for Directors

Jacqueline Frost

Through interviews with current ASC cinematographers, and a balance between technical, aesthetic, and historical content, this book guides the director into a powerful collaboration with their closest on-set ally. Topics include selecting a cinematographer, collectively discussing the script, choosing an appropriate visual style for a film, color palette, film and digital formats, lenses, camera movement, genres, and postproduction processes—including the digital intermediate (DI). Interwoven are quotes from working ASC cinematographers.
