Arts Politics Professor Sheril Antonio Co-Publishes "Dramatic Effects with a Movie Camera"

Arts Politics Professor Sheril Antonio co-publishes the book, "Dramatic Effects with a Movie Camera," alongside Tisch Grad Film professor Gail Segal. The book shares a practical guide to visual storytelling potential that can push the possibilities of cultural production.

"Dramatic Effects with a Movie Camera" is a practical guide to the visual storytelling potential of different camera techniques, demonstrating how they can produce compelling shots and sequences. By exploring how a close-up shot of a character's face can help the viewer share their fear or joy, or how a moving camera can reveal plot points, connect objects and characters in space or give clues to their state of mind, Gail Segal and Sheril Antonio show how choice of shot can dramatically affect your narrative.

With detailed analysis of clips from 45 films, from 30 countries, this is a unique window into how movie-making masters have made the most of their cameras – and how you can too. Order the book wherever books are sold.
