The Film Fan Handbook Volume Two : Filmmaking - 9781970115024

This is the age of the film fan. It is now the privilege of fans to control the medium with social media, access to streaming content, the formation of communities with like-minded viewers, and even the ability to redefine what a "film" is. The Film Fan Handbook series empowers film fans to take ownership of the motion picture experience and extract the greatest enlightenment and enjoyment. While other books take an academic look at film theory or contain endless lists and trivia, this four-volume set is written in easy-to-understand language with clearly defined examples. Volume Two in this series looks at filmmaking - the process of manufacturing the experience. It begins by looking at the contributions of all those people listed in the credits. The duties of everyone from production assistant to the executive producer are explained. Learn what the best boy, gaffer, and grips do, then dig deeper to learn about producers, directors, actors, screenwriters, production designers, editors, and composers. Then learn more about the unique filmmaking concerns of documentarians, and the movie magic secrets of the effects team. Finally, take a deep dive into the fascinating history of film technology. While this volume explores Filmmaking - the process of manufacturing the experience, Volume One looks at Film Narrative - the art of storytelling. Volume Three is a survey of Film Culture - the social framework in which film is created and viewed, and finally, Volume Four examines Film Control - the business of film.
