E-book: Film Production Theory

ISBN: 0791445267
Author: Jean Pierre Geuens
Publisher: State University of New York Press
Edition: 2000-04
Language: English
Paperback: 308 pages
URL: /http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0791445267

Synopsis:
Most serious film books during the last twenty years have focused on theoretical issues, film history, or film analyses, leaving production to the side. This text, however, designed for beginning film production courses, fills that void, opening the production process to pertinent, argumentative notions and incorporating material from Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lyotard, and Derrida, among others. Although Geuens covers screenwriting, lighting, staging, and framing, among other production issues, he avoids the strictly vocational or "professional" approach to film teaching currently applied to most production courses.

Geuens reevaluates what cinema could be, to revive its full powers and attend to the mystery of the creative process. To counter Hollywood's normative machinery, he suggests taking back from the professionals important notions they have arrogated for themselves but rarely act upon: artistry, passion, and engagement.

E-book: Upgrading PCs Illustrated

ISBN 0789709864 | Author: Jim Boyce | Publisher: Que | Date: 1997 | Pages: 744 | PDF | ~30mB

Summary:
Opening the hood on your computer is the first step to what might turn out to be a lifetime obsession with nerdy computer gearhead nirvana. Or, less dramatically, you may just want to add some more RAM chips to your machine and get the job done.
Either way, if you haven't spent a lot of time becoming a fearless tinkerer, relatively simple tasks such as installing an internal modem, adding RAM or a new hard drive, or upgrading a CPU with a faster processor can all seem pretty monumental. And even if these installations and upgrades don't seem too extensive, a repair shop will still ask top dollar to perform them--that is, assuming you can find someone to do the work.
Much like minor home improvements, these tasks aren't all that difficult if you get some expert advice before starting. Upgrading PCs Illustrated offers the kind of step-by-step approach that will allow all but the most techno-squeamish to take the plunge.
Nicely illustrated with useful photographs, this book starts with a system overview labeling most of what you'll see inside a computer. It goes on to detail the various kinds of upgrades the typical user must make and provides a clear overview of the process. Few books on this subject deliver the goods so cleanly and accurately.
