Film production - Renee Harmon

The fastest growing segment of the film business is the production and distribution of small, lower budget, independently financed films. Too much of what passes for movie making instruction is either an empty pep talk or a collection of impractical generalities. Film Production cuts through the fluff and provides the reader with the real-world facts about producing. Topics covered include: pre-production; principal photography; post-production; distribution; script structure and dialogue; raising money; limited partner ships; scheduling and budgeting; cast and crew; production equipment; editing; scoring; publicity; festivals; foreign distribution; video and more.
