On Directing Film
From a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright comes invaluable insights and practical instructions on the art of film directing. Mamet looks at every aspect of directing--from script to cutting room--and draws from a wide variety of sources to make his points. Customer Review: A small mega book!
Over all I was surprised to see the size and no. of pages of the book. But Really in this case, Size doesn't matter. Its full of gr8 info in a very interactive and excellent style. A must hav for all who are realted to film.
Customer Review: great great book
Probably one of the best books I've ever read about making movies. While Mamet is a bit overly rigid in his approach to classical montage here, it is a good contrast to the 'films' with people sitting around a table talking to each other. It will make you reevaluate your approach to placing the camera, directing the performance, structuring your story, visually interpreting a screenplay, etc... It is a quick read and you will surely revisit it through out your career as a filmmaker.
