Beginning Filmmaking: 100 Easy Steps from Script to Screen by Elliot Grove
For the aspiring filmmaker this inspirational book provides a complete introductory course in filmmaking skills. It offers 100 easy projects to guide you through the filmmaking process, from first steps and writing the script, and on to producing, directing and publicising your finished work. This is a complete 'blue print' to making a film. Based on professional practice, each project utilises readily-available, low-budget equipment and software, and will allow you to get started immediately. Each of the 100 projects takes you right the way through writing your script, selling the idea, raising finance, directing, shooting and camerawork, special effects and post production. Once your film is finished, there are further steps to market and publicise your work at film festivals, through the internet and through film markets and distribution. This book shows how to turn your passion for film into a career.
