How can I learn about how films are made?

I want to learn more about how films are made (production aspects). There are not many films filmed near where I live so I do not get many opportunities to become an extra on set (only have once). What are some good books or websites that will help me learn all the technical terms?

well if your in college save up your money and come out to los angeles and transfer to a film school, that’s what im doing except for the whole moving out her cause I live out here already lol. But you can go to beinamovie.com, they e-mail you whenever they are going to film a scene and where they are. I haven’t gone out to one because i don’t have a car or any means of transportation. If your college has a film program you should take it i mean if you are still in school. but that is pretty much i know for now but you should check on Google for like intern stuff and they can use some runners like coffee fetcher stuff, hey that’s what Steven Spielberg did when he was first starting out. Good luck!
