"I am very impressed with the quality and content of this publication. It provides a very comprehensive and accessible introductory text on the subject. Both the Fundamentals I have seen follow a pattern of beautifully designed pages, the text is very well considered and reflected in the design." -- Andrew Kulman, Birmingham City University, UK "The layout is clear, interesting and engaging. The text is to the point, using the images and other graphics to help with the delivery of information. I like the look and feel of the book." -- Robert Richardson, Humber Institute of Technology, Canada "A number of our students pursue careers in independent and documentary film-making and the book has proved very useful in supporting them through a recent Enterprise and Business module and giving them a grounding in how films are funded." -- Christian Lloyd, Leeds College of Art, UK "An excellent introduction into film-making, with practical advice and a good amount of technical information.

" -- Michael Smith, Leeds College of Art, UK "Excellent book, beautifully laid out and designed, covering concisely and thoroughly the whole film production process." -- Nick Cope, University of Sunderland, UK "An excellent text for introductory film-making courses." -- Dave Peacock, Seattle Pacific University, USA "Beautifully designed and executed book that would be ideal for an introductory course in a liberal arts environment." -- Thomas J. Weber, Arts Institute of Pittsburgh, USA "This title is very relevant to my first year courses and, as from Sept. 2012, I am making it a core text (essential purchase). Dynamic. Informative and clear.

Those students to whom I've showed it were enthused." -- Ashley Gaskin, Institute of Technology Tralee, Ireland "Very relevant, attractive layout with lots of useful information which is not patronising." -- Beth Cowell, Coleg Menai, UK "I love these books because they are simple, easy to read with a useful index and excellent images." -- - "Barnwell has written a fine introductory guide to filmmaking. She has managed to condense a lot of information into an easy-to-read reference guide. Film students of today, you never had it so easy." --Bill Kallay, FromScripttoDVD.com, November 2010.
