A comprehensive and user-friendly guide to all aspects of video production from the first chapter on using a camera ("if it doesn't go in easily, don't force it") to the final chapter on distribution ("don't forget to check the quality of the dubs"). Experienced video teacher Martha Mollison covers all the elements of video production: camera operation, scriptwriting, composition, shoots, budgeting, preproduction planning, lighting and sound recording, interview techniques, editing and safety. The book also includes chapters on non-linear editing, satellite transmission of video, and digital postproduction techniques. This new edition has been fully updated to include information on developments in digital technology. It includes new chapters on digital effects, the "hot studio", posting video footage on the internet, and using your computer as a television. With tips from experienced video teachers from around the world, and heavily illustrated with photographs and diagrams, the book is a reference both for students and enthusiasts.
