Negative Positive
Title: A good book for starting film novices.
Review: Don't be fooled that after you follow this book, and make your "used car" budget film that you'll soon see it on the big screens everywhere. You'll end up with a first project on a journey of a long learning process. Is it better to spend the ten grand for school? Maybe. A lot can be said for taking that plunge into cold water and getting your feet wet. Although, some people want the prestige of a piece of paper from an institution. Most of the methods are sound, but the book is pretty much outdated for today's high tech world. Beginning filmmakers rarely shoot on film, but instead go for cheaper video. It's a less painful process. Especially for your pocketbook. It's a good book for student or hobby filmmakers. But please don't shoot a feature using this book as an example. Read it as inspiration.
