Stanislavski comenzoacute; a redactar lo que seriacute;a El trabajo del actor sobre siacute; mismo en 1909; aunque la obra tardariacute;a casi treinta antilde;os en ver la luz. En 1920 el Teatro del Arte de Moscuacute; realizoacute; una larga gira por Estados Unidos; causando una profunda impresioacute;n en criacute;tica y puacute;blico. Algunos editores norteamericanos propusieron entonces a Stanislavski publicar un libro sobre su historia y la forma de preparacioacute;n de su compantilde;iacute;a. De este modo; interrumpioacute; la obra que teniacute;a entre manos para escribir Mi vida en el arte; concluida en 1925. Por fin; a mediados de 1937; Stanislavki se avino a poner punto final a El trabajo del actor sobre siacute; mismo en el proceso creador de la vivencia; que se editariacute;a en 1938; poco tiempo despueacute;s de la muerte de su autor; aunque en una versioacute;n totalmente revisada por eacute;l.El pedagogo ruso dividioacute; su obra en dos partes: El trabajo del actor sobre siacute; mismo en el proceso creador de la vivencia; el texto que presentamos; dedicado a la preparacioacute;n del actor previa a la construccioacute;n de personajes; y una segunda parte; titulada El trabajo del actor sobre siacute; mismo en el proceso creador de la encarnacioacute;n; que aborda la interpretacioacute;n de papeles concretos. Por desgracia; este segundo volumen carece de una redaccioacute;n final supervisada por el autor y ha sido publicado con el orden que a cada editor le ha parecido maacute;s coherente.En esta obra; Stanislavski aplica su profundo conocimiento de los mecanismos teatrales a responder a la pregunta fundamental que todo actor se plantea: iquest;coacute;mo hacer para que mi interpretacioacute;n resulte creiacute;ble?; iquest;coacute;mo mantener la atencioacute;n del espectador sobre lo que ocurre en escena y hacerle creer en la ficcioacute;n de la obra?

Broad; but still detailed guide to practical filmmakingBy James MurrayThis may not be the most in-depth filmmaking guide in the world; but it certainly must be the most broad. The sheer breadth of well-explained concepts and principles makes this handbook the most useful practical guidebook Ive ever read.Theres a ton of material in here that will probably not apply to you. Not working with film? You could probably skip "The Film Camera" and "The Film Image." Or if youre handing your footage off to another editor; skip the sections on editing. But I would suggest another direction: Read it all; from cover to cover. The text is all interesting; well-written; and absolutely packed with great information. Even if you never touch a roll of 16 or 35mm film in your life; understanding where we came from and why weve adopted certain standards is knowledge well worth having.I had been making short films and videos for years before picking up this book; and I was amazed at how much I learned. I realized how many things I had been doing wrong - I was unaware of so many best practices and techniques that my next few films were notably more polished and better executed.In short; the book wont make you a professional; but it will make you MORE professional.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Essential Reading for the Video FilmmakerBy Christopher A. EarleIm actually reading this book from cover to cover. Every now and then; I do skip a section- say; like when they talk about film equipment; as opposed to video (which I shoot.) Its very technical; but I believe that knowing the technical issues and technology is essential. Despite the technical bent; the book also has plenty of information on other aspects of film making; such as continuity; mise en scene; etc. I suppose that if you want to get more granular vis a vis the more artistic aspects of film making; you might want to add other books to your library as well. I am very glad I purchased this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It is described as the Bible of filmmaking in many ...By PaulIt is described as the Bible of filmmaking in many blogs. By all means; they are 100% right. It is a very technical book; that goes over each and every step in the development of a film; describing technology; physics; people; budgeting. Definitely worth leading and constantly review again afterwards if you are serious about filmmaking
