Description
Now fully updated by Des Lyver to reflect the latest advances, the second edition of Basics of Video Lighting is a primer for anyone wishing
to learn about lighting a video production. It describes the principles and processes involved in obtaining professional results in educational,
training and corporate environments.
Assuming little prior knowledge, this book covers everything from the different types of lights
and their control, to basic studio and location settings. It features:
· the latest technology, including the use of location and grip
gear and changes in lamp and reflector technology
· coverage of studio and location work
· descriptions of the role of each crew member
· full explanations of technical terms
· health and safety precautions
· practical advice on the equipment available and how to use
it
Basics of Video Lighting aims to provide the reader with a rapid understanding of what is actually a complex process, without getting
too bogged down in technical terms. It is equipment non-specific and references to technical matters are only included where necessary
to understanding, for example a short explanation of the simple electricity that is needed to understand the relationship between the
camera and the lights.
Audience:
Students on video production courses: A Level, HND HNC, BA and professional training courses eg. BBC Wood Norton.Amateur video makers.
