This book looks at the movie industry and at the labour intensive but fascinating process of making a feature film. It examines each stage in the production of a film, from initial idea through to the final cut and screening, and highlights the main activities that take place along the way.
The book not only looks at the work of prominent people in the film world, such as directors and actors, but also describes the equally important but less high profile contributions of the gaffer, best boy and key grip.
'Media Wise' explores the workings of the media by examining the technology, processes, people and ethics behind the various business operations. Each title looks at a different form of media and follows its development from initial concept to finished product. 'Media Milestones' give a historical background and 'Job Profiles' offer readers an insight into the people behind-the-scenes.
