Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The Fundamentals of Film-Making provides an overview of the collaborative process of film-making.
The book maps out the practical, technical and creative aspects involved, sets out the division of labour, and explains how each individual role combines to influence the final piece. The three primary stages of film production - pre-production, production and post-production - are covered through chapters dealing with each of the major departments: script; production; direction; production design; cinematography; sound and post-production.
The book concludes with an examination of film analysis, providing context and connections between film theory and practice.
