101 dingen die ik leerde op de filmschool

I’d forgotten how much depth a single well-chosen frame can carry until I read the chapters on cinematography and editing. The way it breaks down directing and storytelling into bite-sized ideas makes it easy to revisit before any shoot.

I’m halfway through and already noticing how the editing chapter shifts the way I watch movies—each page packs a concept dense enough to mull over on a walk. Great for quick reference before a shoot or just to keep your brain in storyteller mode.

The bite-sized format is perfect for flipping through between takes—each lesson on cinematography or editing sticks in your head without feeling like a textbook. I've already applied the storytelling principles to my own cuts, and the difference is noticeable.
