Central to this book are flow charts: diagrams detailing every single thing, no matter how small, that needs to be done to make your film. This visual approach to the filmmaking process ensures that new (and established) filmmakers get an instant overview of each and every discipline. Backing up the diagrams are copious notes. Wherever possible, the text is broken apart into box outs, hot tips and sub-diagrams. The book has its own dedicated website where readers can download the tools, forms, software, and artwork detailed in the book.
