Artificially Unintelligent
The second AI generated book outlined by this author. For a book that should celebrate the art of cinematography, it is devoid of anything that could inspire visionary storytellers. Where’s the humanity in this?

A good refresher
This book touches on every possible topic in the world of cinematography but doesn’t go in depth with any of them. Some topics come up in multiple chapters, making the book feel more like a reference book than a straight read-through. It was a good refresher for the things I learned at film school more than a decade ago (I was on the screenwriting track, so I only got the basics of cinematography).
