Make Film History

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Make Film History is an entirely new concept: a 'read it—learn it—do it' introduction to the movies. It unleashes the filmmaker in you.

Reading the book, you enter the history of movies by learning what great filmmakers of the past accomplished and how they did it. Working with the webpage, you use simple hands-on filmmaking exercises and software already installed on your computer to introduce yourself to filmmaking by writing, shooting, cutting, and mixing as the great filmmakers did.
