About this ebook
Film making is an art, but a causal audience can never understand how difficult and skillful this art is. A layman walks into a cinema theater and enjoys the film, but he hardly ever thinks about all those people who are not visible on the screen.
Filming nowadays is a very complex procedure because new effects and techniques are being introduced almost every day.
In this concise dictionary, there are some of the most useful film terms with their illustrations and definitions.
