Looking at Movies

I had ordered the second edition and my order confirmed it was the second edition, however, I received the third edition of the text.

This is the only book used in my MFA program film course. If you are not into the nuances of making a film or even understanding how to review a film, this is a great first step. It breaks down the film into its parts and once you are done, you will actually look at movies in a new and exciting way. The companion CD is good, if film making is in your future, but wasn't necessary for a group of fiction writers. Even if you are not in a film class and just want to understand the making of films, this is a good reference.
