A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
There are many good books about making movies. However, they have their limitations. A book tells the story of the movie in words, whereas the film consists of images. ABCinema is based on the latest techniques where word and image go hand in hand. This extensive online course explains not only the strength of a shot or a particular scene, but also shows it directly!
ABCinema consists of 13 chapters, over 350 pages and has over 14 hours of excerpts of motion pictures. The course contains a large collection of known and unknown film clips from 1878 until now. Each fragment is an example of a new discovery: film language, editing, camera movement, image cutouts, sound, talkies, color film, acting method, etc.
