Movie Speak: How to Talk Like You Belong on a Film Set

â‚¬Å“Movie Speak wonâ‚¬t guarantee you a job, but having a knowledge of the industry terms will fool everyone into thinking you own the place.â‚¬Â â‚¬" Steven Spielberg
Â
â‚¬Å“Finally a book that celebrates the processâ‚¬"the dynamic web of people, technique, and artistryâ‚¬"underneath every foot of celluloid.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Jodie Foster
Â
Uncover the secret language of movie-making in a handbook for film buffs and language-lovers, as well as anyone who aspires to break into the business, with hundreds of essential terms, explained. Opening a window into the fascinatingly technical, odd, colorful, and mysterious working language of movies, Oscar-winning producer, actor, and director Tony Bill sheds light on the hugely complex process of making a film, as well as on the hierarchies between the cast and crew and the on-set etiquette of any movie production.
Â
From why the Assistant Director calls â‚¬Å“wrapâ‚¬Â to the real reason Hollywood stars began wearing sunglasses, Movie Speak offers tricks of the trade learned over decades in Hollywoodâ‚¬"to help you crack the code of the movie business.
