Book Review: THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
Summary: 5 Stars
I JUST STARTED DOING THE FILMMAKING THING, AND THIS BOOK WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONSBook Review: Great Book, a little long.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book. A little too long for my taste, but it covers all subjects in general in the filmmaking business. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to have a big picture of the hole filmmaking process.Book Review: Good overall reference.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good overall reference for filmmaking, for the beginner. For the experienced, good reminder of the basics that one might have forgotten.Book Review: Well written, but content is misguided
Summary: 2 Stars
I read this book, as well as others, because I'm taking a stab at filming a screenplay with some other people. I have enjoyed some of the other dummies books, but I thought this one was off target. It is very high level. For example, in the first or second chapter, he goes over what the job roles are for the production assistant, and ten other job titles you might see at the end of a Hollywood movie, and I'm thinking to myself, am I really going to have a full-time grip on my movie? I was hoping this book would focus on the nuts and bolts of making a small-budget / zero-budget film, but it talked about numbers that apply to people who aren't going to be reading a dummies book. On the whole, I thought it was a real surface look at independent filmmaking, and would be appropriate for someone who wanted to learn about it, but not do it. You would be better off buying IFILM Filmmakers Handbook and some individual books on lighting and sound if you really want information about how to make your own film. A lot of the information in this book can be found on the web, also.
