Summary: Too pricey for me
Comment: As a college student, this was a required textbook for my cinematography class. The book covers a lot of material, and is a great resource if you'd like to learn about the equipment and the industry. Chapter 4 breaks down both film and video cameras and explains it in simple language. Diagrams and photos also aide in learning about how these different cameras operate.

However, the ... pricetag is very high. The publisher is reaping profits off this one. My suggestion: try to find a used copy.

Summary: A great introduction
Comment: This is a great book for those who are starting out or have an interest in filmmaking but don't know what goes on. It takes you from how a script develops to producing the movie and editing it. On each stage of the process it gives an extensive description of the roles different crewmembers play and introduces the reader to proper terminology. I would describe it more as a reference book rather than a how-to book. What I'm disappointed about this book is that it does not give a detailed guide on the format of a script. Nor does it go deep into how to write a good story. But what it does have is a few pages on how and where to make cuts when you are editing. But one thing that I'm definitely pleased about is its very extensive guide on lighting and lots of examples all over the book. If this book contained more information on what makes a good story, I would have given it 5 stars. So if you are looking for a detailed and through guide on the techniques used in writing stories, this probably wouldn't be your best bet. But overall, It's great.
