This informative text walks young directors through all three phases of production. The title may claim 10 easy lessons, but there's a lot more than that covered here. Blofield shines a light on camera movements, editing techniques, storyboard development, and several other filmmaking steps that might trip up first-time moviemakers. ...A glossary and index at the book's conclusion paired with the spiral binding make this an easy tagalong on set, along with clipboards and shot lists.

An excellent, informative tool for any kid interested in becoming the next Scorsese." - Kirkus Review About the Author Robert Blofield is an independent filmmaker and film production teacher from Hampshire, UK.
