This essay on the “Grammar of Film Language” by Daniel Arizhon is an educational and methodological manual for directors, cameramen, editors and all those who strive to improve their professional level in cinema. The book under review provides a fairly documented account of the creation of the film. Directors all over the world use the editing and filming techniques described in Daniel Arijon's book, but mere mastery of technical techniques is not enough to create a work of art. And therefore, this manual can only be a help in the difficult work of the filmmakers. This book will significantly reduce learning time and avoid complex searches for information about cinema. Here you will not find theoretical research; our book represents practical experience collected by the best directors over a long period of their numerous screen tests.
