Format:Paperback
I'm not joking when I say this could be the greatest film making book ever made. Explaining how good and useful this book is would take hours.
The quality of my work improved so much you have no idea (especially writing) If you think you know a lot about writing this book will teach you 10x more. The quality of your screen writing will go way up!
I cannot recommend this book enough, it's practically a film making bible.
This book covers so much information from writing to production all the way to post production.
Like I mentioned the main thing this book will improve is writing. It will vastly improve your film grammar and the way you think about film as well as your shots.
It covers all the basic and advanced points. I honestly don't know how I got on without it

Fantastic book, if I had read this years ago I would have saved time and money on lesser books. My copy is full of passages underlined and sections highlighted. His classes must have been amazing. Love this book and cannot recommend it highly enough.

I am currently finishing my final year at university, studying Film Production Technology, and although it is both slightly depressing and a testament to this book, I have learnt more within these pages than my 3 years at university, and I have not yet finished the book!
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in filmmaking, particularly directing and writing.

Great for writers too
This book does not really tell you all you need to make a film. However, it is a brilliant book about writing, and an insight into how films are made. Read more

Serious but every useful
A very well written book though not an easy read. This stuff was written well before the plethora of "How to..." boooks on making movies appeared. Read more

Learning of other people's experience
This book gives a good introduction to the craft of writing and directing for cinema. It is rather formal but is pretty personal in its arguments. Read more
