The lexicon "Film Language from A to Z" offers clear definitions of important terms related to film language and cinematic storytelling for educational use in schools and universities. The compilation of articles is also suitable for practical film work on set and for use in media education projects. Last but not least, it aims to engage all film enthusiasts who want to take a look behind the scenes of filmmaking. The lexicon contains a unique collection of visual markers that vividly illustrate cinematic tools and techniques in the categories of shot/cinematography, editing/post-production, and sound (effects and music). Special emphasis is placed on topics often neglected in German classes, such as visual composition and color design in feature films.
