LIST YOUR BOOK AND RATED IT OUT OFF 10
I bought a couple books for film making, here’s my list
THE GUERILLA FILM MAKERS MOVIE BLUEPRINT
"the best book for film making ive bought" 10/10
this is an ace book on everything there is to know about film making, i did have the green and yellow one and now they have brought out the Hollywood one which is the latest but it looks too complex lol.
REBAL WITH OUT A CREW 7/10
"inspiring and fun"
This is a fun read, it contains his script, a diary day by day, pictures, start from when he was in the Labs to when he sold his first film.
FILMING ON A MICRO BUDGET 3/10
"good for a fiver"
Its ok for a fiver, it looks like the guy who wrote the book has shot a feature film but he’s only shot a short film so all the budgets, timing etc is for a short film.
MAKE YOUR OWN DAM MOVIE! 8/10
"funny, good info, realistic"
Funny, mad, realistic and clever Lloyd Kaufman is all of them and more, this book is gd or maybe even great, it deals with mainly filming in the real world what’s it like, his experiences etc.
THE GUERILLA FILM MAKERS MOVIE GREEN 7/10 & YELLOW EDITION 6/10
Its just like the blueprint but im not as well laid out, some parts can put you off making films (the first page gives a diagram of power of 10 meaning you would have to write 1,000 scripts for 1 to get filmed an from that one film you will break even, go bankrupt an go to prison or be in hollywood. Theres also too much detail for budgets you will never afford for orcastras etc.
ALL THE LOVE YOU CANNES! 9/10 DVD
So, so funny this will have you laughing your ass off, mainly how you can sell your film in canne and do it on the cheap, shows you canne ain't all glammer as I once thought, i'ts a bit like Jackass in some ways.
Im sure i have more books, i'll post them later date.
