Description
Now fully updated by Des Lyver to reflect the latest advances, the second edition of Basics of Video Production is a primer for anyone
wishing to learn about 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 takes the reader on a guided tour around a studio or
location production, examining the production process from conceptualisation to the final screening. It features:
the latest advances
in low cost non-linear editing and digital video
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 Production 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. Much of what is contained in this book will be directly transferable to film and sound courses as the basics and principles
are the same.
