Excellent Beginner's Guide to the Movies,
By Bryan N. Griffin Jr. (Westlake {formerly from Brooklyn}, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Understanding Movies (Paperback)
I had to buy this book for my Shakespseare and Film class when I was in college my first year. I am so glad I decided to keep it. It helps me in all of my movie reviews. It aids the movie critic in understanding whose role and responsibilities lie in whose hands behind the scenes.
It also gives both the columnist and the dedicated moviegoer an idea on who to blame when the movie goes bad. For example, if the movie looks like it was rushed to be finished (a tight schedule with very little cash and resources to work with), you blame the money man, a.k.a. the executive producer. As an added bonus, it makes great reference material when you are talking about movies with family, friends, and complete strangers. They will get blown away by your knowledge of movie making. But for all intents and purposes, it makes a great instructional book for anyone who wants to get started in making movies. It covers everything from A to Z. If this book is not on the top of your film school professor's required reading list, then suggest this book to him or her. Your instructor will thank you for it.
