The intent of this book is to give a fairly precise idea of how much it costs to do various types of films and the way to go about making these films. It is a production manual, including all the information the serious filmmaker will need about the technical side of making movies. The emphasis throughout is on 16mm film, but differences that arise from using 8mm film are also discussed. Topics discussed include film types, the camera, exposure, film raw stock, filming, lighting, the laboratory, problems of color filming, filters, picture editing, preparing for printing, sound, sound recording, synchronous sound, and sound editing.
