| Directing, Fourth Edition: Film Techniques and Aesthetics by Focal Press An excellent reference for any filmmaker!!! | | I would like to briefly state that Michael R.'s work is well conceived and his book is a must read for any filmmaker that is interested in developing a serious insight. Some books leave you sometimes wanting more or needing to seek out the missing pieces in other texts; Rabiger goes deep and draws in readers with a mass of useful info for filmmakers that i have come to greatly appreciate. | | Directing, Fourth Edition: Film Techniques and Aesthetics by Focal Press Best textbook ever. | | This is the first textbook that I've ever enjoyed reading. It's so easy to read and it's interesting. By far the best textbook I've ever had and since I'm graduating this year the best text I'll ever have! | | Directing, Fourth Edition: Film Techniques and Aesthetics by Focal Press Product Description | Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics is a comprehensive manual that has inspired tens of thousands of readers worldwide to realize their artistic vision and produce well-constructed films. Filled with practical advice on every stage of production, this is the book you will return to throughout your career.
Directing covers the methods, technologies, thought processes, and judgments that a director must use throughout the fascinating process of making a film.
