I just got finished reading this book and thought it was a great introduction to the world of cinematography. I'm an award-winning screenwriter and am looking to learn the ins and outs of cinematography to be a better collaborator.
Question: What are some of your peeves about working with scripts and first-time directors?

Not a peeve, just a suggestion… develop a good understanding of aspect ratios and lens selection. Both have a physical and emotional impact on the overall picture. When you can discuss story and how the cinematographer’s tools will enhance your vision, you’ll be in great shape.

Michael Fitzer Yup. I'm taking care of all of that now in reading and YouTube videos. Can't wait to put it all to good use.
