Overview

Each year, a large cast of would-be film directors and producers pay thousands of dollars to attend film school. Few, however, get the chance to make a real movie. This plain-English guide delivers the highlights of a film school education at a fraction of the cost. Written in the usual lighthearted, easy-to understand For Dummies style, the book demystifies the nuts and bolts of filmmaking, covering everything from developing a project, pitching it and securing financing to hiring a cast and crew, editing footage and getting distribution. Throughout, it offers illuminating anecdotes and practical tips on topics that real-world filmmakers face every day budgeting, deciding on digital video versus film, scouting locations, setting up shots, directing actors, and creating special effects and helps aspiring filmmakers push their projects to the next level, whether they want to create a feature film, a short, or a documentary.
