With examples from dozens of groundbreaking international films, including QR codes linking to the films online, The Fundamentals of Fashion Filmmaking places fashion film in its broader industry, cultural and historical context. You’ll also learn about the process of making fashion film, exploring how it works across multiple technologies, platforms and audiences.
