Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Kudos to Mr. Rabiger for making a comprehensive manual tackling issues from script to rehearsal to mise-en-scène fundamentals to editing. He dispels the myth that film directing is that illustrious, far-away, somehow unobtainable form of "magic." Instead, he spends 500+ pages explaining technique, and offering advice that, in a subtle way, is saying "Get off your ass and make films." The point here is NOT to create a masterpiece the first time out. It's about making mistakes, picking yourself up, and trying again. And again. And again. Success in film will NEVER come overnight. He makes that point perfectly clear. He also stresses the importance of learning how and why great films remain great---hint: analysis. Learning the principles of areas like screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and editing are essential. It's like taking apart a machine, learning how it works, then re-assembling it, with a better understanding of its nature. But make sure the theory goes into practice. Otherwise, this book will be a waste of money.
