Review:
This book is absolutely wonderful for anyone interested in film-making. I bought it because I make Youtube videos, and I wanted to see if any of the information in it would be useful for that. Although most of the book is definitely more geared towards people who are extremely dedicated to bigger projects, I still learned some really helpful stuff.
There are chapters on just about everything you'd need to know from types of cameras to lighting to editing software. It made me wish I could afford a better camera and editing software. (Seriously, I've been wanting better editing software for years. I think I'm going to try and get that for a birthday present this year.)
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in film-making, even on a somewhat casual level. It has a lot of really great information.
