Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: This book provides wonderful baseline knowledge about process of film making from the fruition of an idea to the completion of a movie and beyond. What makes this book especially wonderful is its excellent array of examples. Customer Rating: Summary: Unclear, Expensive, and Redundant Comment: I highly recommend anyone, student or otherwise, to stay away from this book unless you want to spend a lot of money on something that presents only about 15% useful and straightforward information. Also, most of the terms used in this book, while being unnecessary, are simultaneously made up by the authors, particularly because they are rarely or never used in the actual movie business. So again, unless this is a required book for your film class, go buy a seperate book for cinematography, editing, history, sound, or whatever unit you are studying. You'll probably find them to be more critical and explicit. That's my 2 cents. Pz. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent! Comment: I purchased this book for a college course I'm taking. The book came promptly and in excellent condition. Would definitely recommend... More Reviews
