A "MUST HAVE" for those Directors that are "SERIOUS" about the Craft of Directing the Actor!!!By Rolando SanchezI have always been fascinated by a breathtaking emotional performance on film or on stage. I decided one day to take the leap of faith and venture into the world of a Motion Picture Film Director a few years ago. Little did I know that its not as easy as it seems. There is actually a craft or an art form. I had the opportunity to realize my mistakes as a Director on my short film 2 years ago. The only problem was now that I identified the issue. I had to bring the attention to it.Where and What book could teach me an approach or short hand form of communication to speak with my actors and help me bring out the performance I want in them.Well my friends Your journey is over. The name of the book is called " Changing Direction " by Lenore DeKoven. GO BUY THIS BOOK NOW !!After reading this book it has made my "Dreams become a reality".

"Changing Direction..." - A New Directors HandbookBy CustomerChanging Direction is a great intro to the Directing world for anyone unfamiliar with just what a director does. Describing the many "hats" the director needs to wear; this book guides you from the day you first get the script; until its "in the can".I work in a "one man show" broadcast studio; producing educational-type videos. I have never been to film school; so as a self-taught "everything-guy"; this book allowed me to have an insight into an area of production that I needed help with.Anyone trying to make sense of this multi-faceted job is definitely advised to break this book open. You should not try to read cover-to-cover in one sitting: youll miss too much; if you do! And believe me; you dont WANT to miss anything!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
