Of course we all love pretty compositions and flashy tracking shots, but, if you ask me and, since you're reading this I presume you do, what makes a truly great shot is its capacity to convey its message in the most effective way possible. THAT is a great shot, but what makes a brilliant shot? Let's find out by digging into the minds of great directors like Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, George Stevens and Alfred Hitchcock.

You will finally understand the famous Lubitsch Touch, you will learn why George Stevens is an underrated genius, you will find out I am NOT an alcoholic (don't let them tell you otherwise), you will blush at the sight of chairs, shiver at the sight of doors, giggle at the sight of trains and you will finally know what it feels like when a movie treats you like an intelligent viewer, which is what you are, you wonderful video-watcher and description-reader.
