I am for about one year in the process of gathering /Hunting
every knowledge i can, about filmmaking (actually video)
Sorry but this is the most non-readable book i’ve baught.
Whith all the respect to the author, who must have been
a very important person in Hollywood 40 years ago, and to Mr. A.Miller who wrote the introduction, but
despite all my five effords i made in order to try to read some of it,
i didn’t manage to. Seeing all those b/w picts from unknown
actors some 40 or 50 years ago mixed with endless texts, and then more irrelevant b/w picts from usa in the early 60’s .. sorry
not for me. I’ll try another book.

This book sounded interesting but i relized after purchasing it that it was published in the 60’s. this book would not be for anybody who wants to learn new standards in flimmaking but rather learn the basics and how it was done back then.

This book had a bit of useful information here and there, but it is extremely unorganized and unhelpful in the way it gives you its information. The book is also a bit outdated, however basic cinematography never gets completely outdated. Not awful but not great.
