Chris Jones (2) (1967–)

Great introduction to filmmaking. The book is split into pre-, production, and post- and is made up of a series of short interviews with experts who are professionals in the field being discussed. The whole builds up to make a complete picture of the filmmaking process and helps a beginner like myself get a handle on what is involved. Worth reading cover to cover and a very convenient pocketable size.

An essential guide to every budding film maker, with hints and tips from the masters of the industry, both in the indy and mainstream world of films.
It has everything that you could possibly need, from how to write a script, to costume design and creation, to legal titbits "just in case".
It is the best resource available for anyone that loves films and wants to break into the industry.
