I am very pleased with the book so far. It is very detailed which is very good. I have only read the first couple chapters, but I can say the rest should be really good. I already have an extensive knowledge in filmmaking so most of the information I already know. However, there are things have learned that I haven’t heard before. It’s a very good book, if you are a starting out videographer, cinematographer, director, etc. Then get this book.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is good to start with, it really explains you some fundamental things about films (though you still need to have some experience and “eye” to understand it)… It’s good that he makes it interesting and fun to read and learn – you really have more idea about making films in all stages of production yet still like every art book there are some flaws but again it’s a book for beginners – I think that people should read the book, watch the EVERY film he talks about and then keep on buying more advanced books as well as seeing more films even with commentary.
To sum up, this book is great for those who want to start learning film-making – truly great but still you won’t be able to make even short films just by reading this book but it’s sure is a first step.
Rating: 4 / 5
Despite being a text book Film Directing Fundementals is not only intriguing, but it displays the information in an easy to understand way that can help anyone understand filming.
