Cinema: Concept & Practice

by Edward Dmytryk

In this slim and chatty handbook, veteran Hollywood director Dmytryk describes the tools that are available to film directors and discusses how they can best make use of them. Dmytryk talks about the power of the cinematic set-up, the way a director can manipulate symbolism and metaphor, and how filmmakers can convince their audiences that what they are watching is indeed real.
