Notes for myself:

1. How to 'read" a movie -- why do we need to understand it? [Entertainment and MESSAGES]

2. How much ART is in the movie? [ch.1] 

Comparing with other arts -- the difference. 

Art vs. Craft

Craft and Technology -- from photography to motion pictures. Hi-Tech

3. Showbiz and the film industry -- Why BUSINESS is so important: mass medium and cost.

4. FilmMAKING -- many... as in theatre? "Who is the author?"

Production cycles

MODES of production

Concept and funding phase

film.vtheatre.net/1/1.1 -- pre-production

Cast & Crew  [ which one is first? ]

 [ terms -- dictionary & glossary ]

NEW : film and video

Distribution -- selling it [commodity].  Marketing, promotion, exhibition...

SUM p. 47
