    Description

    by Neil Landau (Author), Matthew Frederick (Author)

    An illustrated, accessible introduction to filmmaking from an award-winning Hollywood producer, screenwriter, film school professor, and script consultant to major movie studios

    Anyone with a cellphone can shoot video, but creating a memorable feature-length film requires knowledge and mastery of a wide range of skills, including screenwriting, storytelling, directing, visual composition, and production logistics. This book points the aspiring filmmaker down this complex learning path with such critical lessons as:

    - how to structure a story and pitch it to a studio
    - ways to reveal a story's unseen aspects, such as backstory and character psychology
    - the difference between plot, story, and theme
    - why some films drag in Act 2, and what to do about it
    - how to visually compose a frame to best tell a story
    - how to manage finances, schedules, and the practical demands of production

    Written by an award-winning producer, screenwriter, film school professor, and script consultant to major movie studios, 101 Things I Learned(R) in Film School is an indispensable resource for students, screenwriters, filmmakers, animators, and anyone else interested in the moviemaking profession.
