Book Presentation:
Among today's filmmakers, scene transitions represent something wholly essential but not fully understood. Is there a hidden cinematic art which we are only beginning to uncover? Between the Scenes explores this art, delivering a fresh approach for filmmakers and screenwriters that will enhance the emotional impact of their stories. From location choices, to character movement between scenes, to the use of music, scene transitions are where the meat is in your story, and now you'll discover a new palette of creative possibilities.
Press Reviews:
"Between the Scenes is an entertaining and damn near exhaustive account of the ways that images and sounds can tie one scene to another ... He also raises ideas I never considered." - David Bordwell, author, Film Art: An Introduction
"Between the Scenes is the 'missing link' of film directing books! Jeffrey takes us on a well researched journey to prove why scene transitions are the best kept secret of storytelling -- because they help us connect our stories emotionally with the audience. If you want to be a better filmmaker, this book is a MUST read!"
- Peter D. Marshall, director, film directing coach
"Whether writing, directing, or editing, you'll find this is a practical text devoted to helping you strengthen the impact of your film by eliciting the right emotional connection from your audience."
- Greg Marcks, director of 11:14 and Echelon Conspiracy
