Prof. Gustavo Mercado’s – The Filmmaker’s Eye

The Filmmaker’s Eye: Learning and Breaking the Rules of Cinematic Composition”

know-how to achieve them.
Loaded with hundreds of full-color examples, “The Filmmaker’s Eye” is a focused,

– Breaking the Rules: examples where the “rules” are brilliant subverted
