Get the Picture? The Movie Lover's Guide to Watching Films
by Jim Piper
Movie lovers from school-age to seniors will enjoy the favorite classics, pop flicks, and lesser-known gems discussed in this lively introduction to film, which also details how different techniques have been used throughout cinematic history—and how modern filmmakers are adapting those traditions today. Avoiding technical jargon, the author clearly explains key aspects of film: shots, scenes, sounds, cuts, styles, setting, mood, and meaning.
Covered are classic, popular, foreign, and independent films—most of which are available at local video stores. Filled with fascinating comparisons of movies and evocative still shots, this large volume will stimulate readers to watch movies with a new sense of understanding and enjoyment. |

— Booknews
"I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about health and safety matters, but I've learned an enormous amount from reading The Health and Safety Guide For Film, TV & Theatre. . . the book is much more than just than just Stage Fright 2001 [the previous edition]. It's a completely new book which expands on the original material, includes new areas which had not been previously covered, and generally takes a much more serious, technical approach to the subject."
—The Journal of Props Professionals
"The Health and Safety Guide For Film, TV & Theatre by Monona Rossol is an updated edition of her earlier publication Stage Fright and as far as we know is the only book of its kind."
—ITASE Bulletin - (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees)
"A fine assessment of the health problems and issues unique to the entertainment industries. From te hazards of theatrical paints and solvents to working wth existing health and safety laws both on the job and in the classroom, Health and Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater is packed with practical advice."
