I got this book with very very little knowledge about films and the inner workings of making a film (I know a lot about movies but not making them), and I will say that it was more than a little overwhelming at first especially because it has a lot of technical jargon in it. I also got this with a much less technical book on film making First-Time Filmmaker F*#^-ups: Navigating the Pitfalls to Making a Great Movie and between those two books, I was able to understand a lot more about the film industry, and making a movie, and the latter book really helped me understand "Scheduling and Budgeting Your Film" better.If you all ready know a decent amount about film, but want to know more about budgeting for one, then its probably not going to be as overwhelming for you to read this one, like it was for me. I can honestly say though, I don't regret getting it or reading it, it really helped me understand just how complex film making can really be, and how important a budget really is for a film (I all ready have a budget in my daily life so that helps too in understanding).I honestly never knew anything about how to break down a script, so the sections on that, to me were very helpful, and I love how the book really just lays out everything, gives you lots of illustrations and pictures from the actual software (if you choose to use it), or what it looks like if you do it by hand.
