Making Movies Work : Thinking Like a Filmmaker

A fascinating and accessible guide for both film makers and serious film fans about how film makers think about film. The author identifies 3 ways is which we, both film makers and audience, watch movies. Then, through practical examples, he demonstrates how, at any given moment, the way we watch dictates its own rules of time and space and demands its own set of film techniques to address them. Over 100 illustrations including stills and storyboards.
