There are many books on directing - nearly all of which assume extensive prior knowledge. However this book supplies the novice director with information and skills that usually only come with years of experience. The book leads the reader through every aspect of directing, from handling the crew and actors to equipment, sound and lighting and on to post production and editing.

Reviews of the previous edition:
`It is a very good piece of work altogether and there's nothing else that contains a tenth as much as useful advice for the novice director'.
Paul Jordan, Senior Producer, Anglia Television
'A rollercoasting blockbuster of a book that claims to supply the novice
director with the information and skills that usually only come with years of
experience ...'
