From the Publisher
From Pitch to Premier
In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed film director Ken Russell unpacks the creative insights, technique, know-how and sheer determination that have enabled him to realise on screen more than fifty diverse and yet intensely personal films.
In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed film director Ken Russell unpacks the creative insights, technique, know-how and sheer determination that have enabled him to realise on screen more than fifty diverse and yet intensely personal films.
Drawing on his parallel experiences of producing, screenwriting and editing - as well as his favourite (and some unfavoured) movies by other directors - Russell places the role of the director as auteur within the context of film-making as a collaborative enterprise.
As a bonus, Russell offers critical insights into his vision and intentions in several of his own movies, including an exclusive focus on his most recent film. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Read how a Master does it!
11 April 2001
Format:Paperback
Ken Russell is one of the best directors of our century, and it's a joy to read about his craft. A must read for film buffs or students of the art.

Directing for non-directors
26 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Rather superficial and not very well written. Level of writing and content is OK for "Parade" Magazine but little more. More of a biography than a "how-to" book. Disappointing because I expected more from Russell.

With plenty of examples and first-person insights
7 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
In Directing Film, film director Ken Russell shares his knowledge of the director's art and job from analyzing a script to making scenes and choosing images. Black and white film shots accompany a guide which comments on differences between plays and films, reveals the director's role in shooting a screenplay, and considers the requirements of the camera. Plenty of examples and first-person insights pack this presentation.
