French is a widely spoken language in many countries, including France, which is known for its rich cinematic history.

In this e-book, we start with a review of basic film vocabulary in French. This includes words and phrases that you will regularly use on set, such as "camera" (caméra), "director" (réalisateur), "script" (scénario), "actor" (acteur), "actress" (actrice), and " film" (film). We also cover more complex technical terminologies, such as "camera angle" (angle de caméra), "lighting" (éclairage), "editing" (montage), and "special effects" (effects spéciaux).

Once you have a solid understanding of vocabulary, we move on to grammar and sentence construction. Here, you will learn to ask questions, give instructions, express opinions and discuss ideas in French, all essential skills for effective communication on set. We also dedicate a section to common French idioms that are often used in the film industry.

In addition, the course includes a series of dialogues and practical scenarios that simulate real situations you might encounter on set. This can range from discussing a script with a colleague, directing actors during a scene, or negotiating contracts and agreements. These practice exercises will not only help reinforce what you've learned, but also give you the confidence to use French in a real work environment.

Finally, we also include a module on French cinema culture. Here, you will learn about the history of French cinema, its main directors and actors, and its most iconic films.
