Product Description

Review

"..arguably the best introductory text available on this subject"
Journal of Educational Television

"Ahh! A readable, accessible, clearly written guide to producing economical video programs for students, industrial and public educators, cable TV producers and hobbyists"
Communicator magazine - USA

"If you were to buy just one video making handbook, this volume should probably rate among the front-runners from which to choose. Put simply, it's excellent in every way"
Video Camera Magazine - Australia

Product Description

This practical sourcebook has been specially prepared to give you an at-a-glance guide to quality video program-making on a modest budget. Emphasis throughout is on excellence with economy; whether you are working alone or with a small multi-camera group. The well-tried techniques detailed here will steer you through the hazards of production, helping you to avoid those frustrating, time-wasting problems, and to create an effective video program.

For many years Video Production Handbook has helped students and program-makers in a wide range of organizations. Now in its thoroughly revised 3rd edition, Video Production Handbook guides you step-by-step, explaining how to develop your initial program ideas, and build them into a successful working format. It covers the techniques of persuasive camerawork, successful lighting and sound treatment, video editing...etc. You will find straightforward up-to-the-minute guidance with your daily production problems, and a wealth of practical tips based on the author's personal experience. In this extended edition, you will see how you can use quite modest chromakey facilities and visual effects to create the magic of virtual reality surroundings.

Gerald Millerson's internationally acclaimed writings are based on a long and distinguished career with the BBC. His lecturing background includes TV production courses in the United States and UK. His other books for Focal Press have become standard works in a number of languages, and include his classic course text Television Production 13th ed, Effective TV Production 3rd ed, Video Camera Techniques 2nd ed, Lighting for TV and Film 3rd ed, Lighting for Video 3rd ed and TV Scenic Design.

get to know your camera controls with easy practical instruction
understand lighting technology and equipment and how to get the look you want
learn creative techniques using visual effects

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly comprehensive, 3 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Video Production Handbook (Paperback)
This book covers it all. It will take an interested videography student through every facet of putting together a video production project. There is indepth technical explanations and diagrams for camera usage, lighting your set & capturing the sound, as well as plenty of helpful advice on matters of process and taste.

This book is not digitally savvy. It covers proper technique and procedures, however it leaves the product choices up to you.

There is a lot of material in this book. The print is small, the pages are large, and there are plenty of them.


3.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but often old - non-digital era - point of view, 14 May 2009
By Pierre A. Kandorfer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Video Production Handbook (Paperback)
Solid, very good standard info. However, you recognize that the basic concept of this book was written long time ago...

2.0 out of 5 stars Video Production Handbook - Review, 11 Nov 2006
By C. Volschenk "CV" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Video Production Handbook (Paperback)
Good book but the material is somewhat "old" - no longer cutting edge in my personal opinion. I would have purchased a different book given another choice.
