Genre Filmmaking Reviews

Genre Filmmaking offers a straight forward, useful guide to shots and style... Every section is filled with numerous examples of shots to be found within a film, from 'the voyeur' in horror and 'bullet time' in sci-fi, to the 'lustful gaze' in comedy and 'the floating corpse' in thriller. Draven places a heavy emphasis on images to demonstrate his points, showing how angles and positions of the shot can be taken in order to achieve a desired emotion of effect... Draven's book is successful in offering a visual guide to shots and style, providing multiple ideas of shots as well as how and when they should be used. He provides plenty of examples within these four genres. It is easy to use and refer to due to the layout and clear use of imagery.- Raindance.org
