I kept the book (second edition) after graduating and still refer to it often. Excellent for tangible explanations of film theory and analysis and aspects of film alluded to but rarely explained in the field! Another excellent book is CINEMATOGRAPHY by Kris Malkiewicz, but this is mostly technical (but accesible!) guide to main areas of filmmaking. Good luck with your search.. Loren Lyons
