Scene One, Take One. How to Write, Shoot, and Edit a Film

Modern technologies allow every person, regardless of age, experience, and equipment, to quickly create videos and receive feedback from the audience. But is it really that easy to achieve success without training? If you want to learn how to shoot videos or films that people genuinely want to watch, you will need a professional mentor.
In this book, Deborah Patz has created a safe space for experimentation. With Deborah's attentive guidance and her systematic exercises, you will be able to create a finished video and reveal your visual language.

The book presents the filmmaking process from three perspectives:
• the screenwriter;
• the director (and cinematographer);
• the editing director.

It is not necessary to read all the chapters. For example, if you have organized a film crew with friends and assigned roles, each person can refer to the section of the book that is relevant to them.
The book will be useful for young aspiring filmmakers aged 12 and older, as well as for middle school teachers and any adult who has decided to make their own film.
