FOCAL BOOKS ON CINEMATOGRAPHY
THE TECHNIQUE OF FILM EDITING Compiled by Karel Reisz 288 pages, 189 illustrations. Price 30/ (Postage 9d.)
Editing is the final and the most subtle phase of creative motion picture work; it is also the least explained or publicized.

It is richly documented with carefully selected examples from famous films.

Contains an up-to-date encyclopaedia of technical data and complete directories of clubs, libraries, labs., etc.
WORKING FOR THE FILMS Edited by Oswell Blakeston
220 pages, two-colour diagrams, tables.
Price 10/6 (Postage 6d.)
The secret about the glamour of films seems to be that not all of it is faked. After all the debunking is done, it still remains true that life around the studios can be more exhilarating, offer bigger rewards and lead to higher careers than other arts or crafts. The inspiring examples, often thrilling stories and frank advice by twenty celebrated protagonists of British films, which make up this book, prove as much and teach a lot more. They show some of the right paths to film fame.
