A Beginner's Guide to Digital Video

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Video production for amateurs and professionals was turned on its head in 1995, when digital video was introduced to the consumer marketplace. Now, several years on, technology prices have fallen, and video editing solutions have matured to a point where almost anyone with a camcorder and a desktop computer can create polished, high-quality movies. This book lifts the lid on DV technology and its potential. It demystifies the jargon and cuts through technical hype, keeping its sights firmly fixed on the actual task of making a movie. Digital video production is addressed in a linear manner, taking the reader from initial concept to final production

Topics include a fully explained anatomy of DV camcorders and video-editing systems, and easy-to-follow illustrated guides to shooting and editing techniques, leading the reader through the fundamental processes of storytelling to the more flamboyant world of special effects.
