The Movie Business Book (fourth edition)

摘要

Where many books about film present the topic as either a history of cinema or as a critical exercise in interpreting films, this edited collection introduces film making as a production process and as a movie busi- ness. Edited by Jason Squire, an associate professor of practice at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, it draws on the experience of film professionals. Most of the chapters in the collection are authored by people working in the industry; for example, the material about producing films and the role of the producer comes from Michael London, a Los Angeles-based producer. Similarly in the chapter on directing the reader gains the experience of Doug Liman, a New York director.
