"The Fundamentals of Film-Making is dynamite!" - Steven Womack, Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, USA"Good, all round compact introduction, ideal for beginners. A key text", Chris Twigg, Lincoln University, UK. 'A new book by author Jane Barnwell, "The Fundamentals of Film-making" (AVA Publishing SA), offers readers a quick and entertaining reference guide to the art of making films. If you've ever wondered what a treatment is, or what a gaffer does, Barnwell's book is a valuable addition to your personal library. Barnwell, the Senior Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, carefully breaks down nearly every position on a film set...Her writing is straight to the point and easy to read. What I enjoyed about her book was the fact that she combines references to both old and new films. Her readers aren't subjected to endless paragraphs on why "Citizen Kane" or "Birth of a Nation" were towering film achievements. They were, of course, monumental films. But she keeps the prose fresh by speaking about new films and new filmmaking techniques...Barnwell has written a fine introductory guide to filmmaking. She has managed to condense a lot of information into an easy-to-read reference guide. Film students of today, you never had it so easy.' - Bill Kallay, From Script to DVD.com.
