guide to the visual narrative techniques that form the
language of filmmaking. This language is basic to the
very positioning and moving of players and cameras, as well as the

Hollywood on $5,000, $10,000, Or $25,000 A Day: The Survival Guide

Philip Gaines and David J. Rhodes, 225 pages, 51/2x81/2,
1-879505-16-9, $10.95 paper | | [Description] |  |
This book goes to the heart of the matter, where few
others about low-budget moviemaking have dared to go before. That
might sound like the narration for a real B-movie trailer, but in
this case, it s all true. I m not sure the inside
information in this book should be handed out so glibly, but if
you re planning to try your hand at a low-budget picture, you
must buy this book, right after you buy mine.
