When setting up a shot, the camera operator can employ a range of visual techniques that will clearly communicate the idea to an audience. Composition is the bedrock of the operator's craft, yet is seldom taught in training courses in the belief that it is an intuitive, personal skill. Peter Ward shows how composition can be learned, to enhance the quality of your work.Based on the author's own practical experience, the book deals with the methods available for resolving practical production questions such as: <BR idCinematographyMotion picturesProduction and directionTelevisionProduction and directionComposition (Photography)Cinematography.Motion picturesProduction and direction.TelevisionProduction and direction.Composition (Photography)778.53778.53 21Ward Peter1936-,74502MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784573203321Picture composition for film and television3867950UNINA02461nam 2200553 a 450 991077766080332120230617000920.01-383-02949-01-280-75401-X97866107540140-19-152414-X1-4237-8660-2(CKB)1000000000463506(EBL)679594(OCoLC)712015967(SSID)ssj0000108138(PQKBManifestationID)12026008(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000108138(PQKBWorkID)10017117(PQKB)10449177(MiAaPQ)EBC679594(EXLCZ)99100000000046350620050909d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAvian flight[electronic resource] /John J.

This book provides an up-to-date account of our existing knowledge on the subject, offering new insights and challenging some established views. A brief history of the science of flight introduces the basic physical principles governing aerial locomotion. This is followed by a treatment of flight-related functional morphology, concentrating on the difference in shape of the arm and hand part of the wings, on the structure and function of tails, and on the shape of the body. The anatomy and mechanical properties of feathers receive special attention.
