Film School News: Course Reading Material

Summary

Lights Film School has introduced two new books into their course curriculum. Combined these books offer our students over 1000 pages of reading material and a broad spectrum of information about filmmaking.

Book Title: The Filmmakers Handbook ( 2008 edition)
A comprehensive guide for the digital age

Book Title: Film Directing Shot by Shot
Visualizing from concept to screen

Combined these books include thousands of pages and over 1000 illustrations. They are easy to understand books but advanced enough to challenge you into thinking about film in new ways. The cost of the books is included in our enrolment fees.

The first book will help our students build more of a technical understanding of how films are made while the second book will offer them a wealth of knowledge about the creative process of film building.

These books along with our lecture notes, CD-Roms and assignments are sure to inspire our new students to become great filmmakers.
