The Secret Language of Film Sets: "Movie Speak" Book Overview
Do you know the difference between a 'Martini' and a 'Cowboy'? In the first episode of the Cinematographer's Library series, I’m diving into Movie Speak by Tony Bill. This book is the ultimate guide to the secret lexicon of Hollywood and the unspoken etiquette of the film set.
As a cinematographer with over 15 years on set, I can tell you that knowing this 'secret language' is just as important as knowing your lighting ratios. We’ll look at why some of these terms are technically odd, historically fascinating, and occasionally... un-broadcastable.
Let's check if this book published in 2008 is still actual!
