### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best start for someone looking into filmmaking

This is a dense textbook for those wishing to learn the technical skills required to be a filmmaker. It's designed to be used by anyone -- professionals in the film industry right down to a family making a home video. And you can read and understand this highly technical manual even as a complete beginner, like me, who doesn't even know what the buttons on a camera do. The format seemed random at first, but is actually organized in a way that builds constantly on previously learned information. This means the learning is guided in such a way that is easier than researching online, which often simply defines something without building on previous concepts. It starts out with the basics: the phases of film production, how digital cameras and strips of film capture light, the various functions within a camera, sound equipment, job positions on a film crew, and much more. This builds up gradually to the point where you can read very complicated technical information and understand it very clearly. Excellent all-source book for anyone who wants to make movies.
