Overview

There are many books on directing - nearly all of which assume extensive prior knowledge. However this book supplies the novice director with information and skills that usually only come with years of experience. The book leads the reader through every aspect of directing, from handling the crew and actors to equipment, sound and lighting and on to post production and editing. This book is highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn the practical techniques of directing. It has been updated to include the latest approaches and has a whole new chapter on widescreen filming. It is intended to inspire the novice director who has the ambition and creativity but lacks knowledge and experience. <%TOC%> Introduction to Lenses
