Single-Camera Video Production

Single-Camera Video Production begins with a discussion of the overall production process, including the importance of goals, audience analysis, and technology. The first section gives you a solid foundation with lessons on video and audio signals and equipment (including cameras, tripods, audio tools, lighting options, and more). You’re then guided through the production process from preproduction planning to setting up, rehearsing, shooting, striking, and more. More advanced lessons and techniques on lighting, audio, editing, and aesthetics follow, giving you a complete overview of the video production process, even including distribution. New to this edition are expanded sections on audio, field-tested production workflows, recording formats, production techniques to consider for distribution, and much more. Also new to this edition is a companion website with video examples of the concepts discussed in the book, as well as rolling updates from the author on technological advances.
