If you want to become a better editor, you need this Book 📚“The Technique of Film and Video Editing” by Ken Dancyger is a manual for storytelling with cuts, not a software manual. It walks through the history of editing, from the silent era to the present, and breaks down how editing actually shapes meaning across every genre, with case studies from films like Whiplash, Lincoln, and Oppenheimer. I cannot recommend it enough.Comment “Book” and I’ll send you a link to this one and the rets in this series.S@routledgebooks#Editing #FilmEditing #Filmmaking #PostProduction #BookRecs by @danielgrindrod

If you want to learn Cinematography, you need this Book 📚The Set Lighting Technician’s Handbook by Harry C. Box is written for lighting technicians, but even if you are not one, knowing what the lighting department actually does will make you better at every other job on set. Electrical distribution, rigging, knots, diffusion, gels, every kind of lamp you might rig up. So when you are working with a gaffer, you actually know what they are doing. I cannot recommend it enough.@routledgebooks#FilmCrew #Filmmaking #SetLighting #Cinematography #BookRecs by @danielgrindrod
