Book description
Directing for Film and Television reveals practical insights for
every phase of directing, from reading prospective scripts through
overseeing post-production. Legendary stories portray directors as
eccentric, moody savants who possess a genius for the film medium that
mere mortals could never grasp. Throughout cinematic history, gushing
accounts have cast the likes of DeMille, Hitchcock, Fellini, and
Spielberg as sorcerers, rather than tradesmen. Now confounding these
lofty perceptions, acclaimed veteran director Christopher Lukas
examines the craft and art of directing as a teachable, learnable profession.
