This review is from: Directing 101 (Paperback)
Written by an Oscar-winning filmmaker who has taught at USC and UCLA film schools, Directing 101 is a basic primer in all aspects of directing - from acquiring quality material to budgets and financing, casting and communicating with actors, production planning, filming techniques, blocking and staging, special concerns for directing shorts, commercials, or music videos, and much more. A well-thought-out presentation offering real-world experience and perspective, written in language any layman can understand with an in-depth glossary to help those unfamiliar with common industry terms. Directing 101 is so straightforward that it is enthusiastically, wholeheartedly recommended to anyone considering, studying for, or actively pursuing a directing vocation.
