the various jobs on the set: costumes, director and their unit, the camera department, grips, the electric dept., sound, special effects, sets and props, publicity, makeup and hair, and how all of the jobs works together to make a great movie. Highly recommended for people who are interested in getting into the movie business or are curious about how movies get made. I am in the process of a career change to Hollywood. I was all set to pay $15,000 for a college degree, but after reading this book, I realized that what I wanted in a school was a big mistake. Thank goodness I was given this book as a Christmas present. This book created a clear picture for me and I was able to understand what I really want to do on set.
