Basics Film-Making 03: Directing Fiction

Rezensionen / Stimmen

I think this is an excellent book. The writing is clear, concise and informed. The layout is lively and makes it very accessible to students. Great exercise ideas ... I imagine it'll inspire many a budding film-maker to get their teeth into the business of making films and to stick with it, regardless of how challenging it can sometimes be. * Wyn Mason, University of Glamorgan, UK * The book is really excellent, finely produced and illustrated and with an intelligent and thoughtful text ... The case studies are varied and well selected ... No budding film-maker could fail to find something valuable here: in its concise, accessible and unassuming way, it's as good a book of its kind and for its student audience as I have yet encountered. * Neil Sinyard, University of Hull (retired), UK * The book is well written, the layout is clear and it is relevant to the courses I teach. * Robert Klenner, Anglia Ruskin University, UK * This book offers a good overview of the production process that is well grounded in industry contexts and illustrated by useful film examples. I particularly valued the interviews with film-makers. * Charlotte Crofts, University of the West of England, UK * The Basics series are consistently engaging and accessible. You may begin thinking 1 or 2 pages would be useful for a class but often find yourself recommending the students to consult the whole chapter. * Phil Organ, Swansea Metropolitan University, UK *
