Filmmaking Fundamentals: Visual Storytelling Guide

For years, I fumbled my way through, relying on instinct and what felt right rather than using these core principles with intention. This guide is designed to give aspiring filmmakers a starting point to understand the fundamental building blocks of visual storytelling, so they can create with purpose. As they say, “you’ve got to know the ‘rules’ before you can break them.” 

I hope you find it as helpful as I do.

Cheers,
