The first movie studio was built for the Thomas A Edison company in the United states in 1893. It consisted of an enclosed stage on a revolving base which, by following the sun, enabled action to be photographed nonstop during daylight hours. In the succeeding hundred years, the making of a movie has developed into a highly sophisticated operation, involving the most advanced technology and the services of hundreds of artists, technicians and craftsmen. This book provides a concise introduction to the modern film industry and explains how a movie is made, from the first story "treatment" to the final laboratory processes.
