“Finally! Someone has had the cleverness, initiative, and imagination to set down on paper a film language that has been passed down and amalgamated only by word of mouth since the days of Méliès and D. W. Griffith. Like Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language, Christopher Kenworthy’s Master Shots series seeks to make tangible and permanent what otherwise might be gone with the wind.” — John Badham, Director, Saturday Night Fever, WarGames, Short Circuit; Author, I’ll Be in My Trailer and John Badham on Directing; Professor of Media Arts, The Dodge School, Chapman University “I’ve directed five features and a ton of TV and I wish to God I’d had this book at the beginning of my career. It’s an unbelievably comprehensive resource for filmmakers. I can’t wait to go back and look at Volumes 1 and 2.” — Tom Lazarus, Screenwriter, Director, Educator, Author, The Last Word “You can take ten years to figure out lensing or you can read this book and use that ten years to create your art instead. Your choice.” — Tony Levelle, Author, Digital Video Secrets; Co-author, Producing with Passion “The latest installment in Kenworthy’s Master Shots series lives up to its predecessors and then some, offering up even more exciting ways to frame and follow your action.

Kenworthy understands the interplay between image, character, story, and emotion.
