Television Production offers you a very practical guide to professional TV and video production techniques. Here you will find straightforward
description and explanations of the equipment you will use, and discover the best ways to use it. You will also learn how to anticipate
and quickly overcome typical everyday problems.
You will explore in detail all the major features of television production, learning
the secrets of top-grade camerawork, persuasive lighting techniques, effective sound treatment, as well as the subtle processes of scenic
design and the art of video editing.
Successful program-making is about communication and persuasion. It is not merely a matter of knowing
which buttons to press, but how to influence and persuade your audience, hold their attention, develop their interest, and arouse their
emotions. This book tells you how to do all this - and much more.
Now in its thirteenth edition, formerly entitled The Technique of
Television Production, Gerald Millerson has extended and fully updated the book to reflect the important technical innovations that have
occurred since the previous edition was published.
It now covers: – Digital recording and editing processes – Computer based desktop
video equipment – Virtual sets
Supplementary topics are discussed as digests.
Gerald Millerson's analytical writings spring from a lifetime's

His other books for Focal Press are The Technique of Lighting for Television and Film, TV Scenic Design, Video
