Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
So you don't know what pups, snoots, kooks, high hats, velocilators, and wigwags are? Look them up in the Filmmaker's Dictionary, a marvelously comprehensive book that offers concise, nuts-and-bolts definitions of technical and legal terms used in scripts, contracts, and every aspect of production and distribution. Also included are definitions for on-set slang and trade-paper jargon, the different professions and organizations, and acronyms. This is author Singleton's fourth book on film production and clearly shows his 16 years experience in the business, working as assistant director, producer, and production manager (and you can look these jobs up in here to find out what Singleton does for a living). Indispensable for entertainment-oriented libraries and universities. David Bartholomew, NYPL

Filmmaker`s Dictionary Needs Adding Before Re-Print,
By A Customer
This review is from: Filmmaker's Dictionary (Paperback)
One of the most handiest books ever to come out of the movie world. It is for the layman, photographers, the directors, the actors and the scriptwriters. Yet I found several words were not propperly described (like how to avoid Newton Rings, Focus, Why you use Dot, etc.) Other words were omited, like Airiflex, Composition, Contrast, Density, F-system, Key (length of background-film), Outline, Pantomime and many others. I will also suggest that under "Lamps" for instance to name them all, and under "Crew" to give a hieragy, etc. Still a very valuable book by all means.
