5.0 out of 5 stars A decent book
Verified PurchaseIt is a hard read, and there are a lot of movies that you need to watch to follow along with the book. I lost my attention span reading this book, and I think there are much better books out there to discuss the making of movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars saved my wallet!
Verified PurchaseWhen I got this book it was around $60 on amazon to buy, and at my school's bookstore they were selling it for $150-$200. This was one of the most effective purchases I have ever made, not only for the price but the extremely extensive and real life information this book provides. Perfect for a first year film student, or anyone curious in the art.
