The Video Book

For undergraduate-level courses in Video Production. Comprehensive yet concise and exceptionally well illustrated this self-contained guide "begins at the beginning" to introduce the tools, mechanics, techniques, and the art of contemporary video production. Step-by-step, it guides students through the entire scope of video production from the photographic basics of still photography (that apply equally to videography), to state-of-the-art equipment, camera operation, videotape, lighting, audio for video, videotape editing and assembling from "video blocks," multiple source configurations that are required for professional-level productions of live shows, to producing.
