On Film-making by Alexander Mackendrick
A practical and insightful guide to directing, storytelling, performance and the visual decisions that shape a finished film.
This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a lifelong interest in every stage of the filmmaking process. He understood that what appears effortless on screen is usually the result of countless decisions about story, performance, timing and visual detail, so books about the craft behind filmmaking naturally earned a place on his shelves. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.
Written by acclaimed director Alexander Mackendrick and edited by Paul Cronin, On Film-making brings together professional experience and practical teaching on the craft of cinema.
The book explores how directors shape stories through structure, performance, visual language and careful decision-making. Rather than concentrating on theory alone, it offers clear guidance grounded in the realities of making films and communicating ideas to an audience.
An outstanding reference for film students, screenwriters, directors and anyone fascinated by the discipline and creative judgement behind great cinema.
