Depth Effects

The work of the camera is integral to storytelling in filmmaking, with many creative approaches to depth, movement, and perspective. As different cameras were explored and perfected, so too were approaches to photographing subjects and considering how the camera is used to express a story.

In Depth Effects: Dimensionality from Camera to Computation by Brooke Belisle, readers can examine the more technical side of camera work. While this reads like a textbook, it offers an interesting and factual overview of camera work and types of cameras, in addition to ample examples that showcase the final products for comparison.

This book is recommended to film students or individuals interested in working behind the camera.
