Designed to be distributed to each child in the filmmaking course for elementary school children outlined in "Filmmaking for Children" (EM 009 409), this handbook contains most of the information needed for them to start making films. Each of the ten chapters supplies specific working rules and information for a particular filmmaking specialty, and each is provided with examples, samples, or illustrations. Specialties which are covered include the writer, director, cameraman, sound crew, lighting crew, graphics committee, costume committee, set designers, special effects committee, and actors. The way each specialty interacts with the others is described, and technical details and practical advice are also provided. A glossary of camera and film terms is appended. (Author/SH)
