Résumé

The digital video revolution has blurred the lines between professional and amateur equipment, with some Hollywood movies being shot and edited using the same technology as families use for their vacation footage. With sales of these remarkable digital video cameras and computer-based editing systems skyrocketing, more and more people are seeing the potential and are anxious to advance their own personal video productions skills to a higher level. Whether you're a beginner or a budding professional, shooting for fun or shooting for profit, The Essential Digital Video Handbook will help you become a better writer, producer, director, photographer, and editor. Author Pete May's sound advice and no-nonsense approach will help you achieve results that will wow your audience whether they're gathered in the family room or the corporate boardroom.

The Essential Digital Video Handbook will walk you through every step of the process, from buying the right equipment to editing your footage. This book shares tips on achieving professional quality results by understanding and exploiting our visual language, both by following the rules and by breaking them with style and confidence. You'll even learn to sound like a professional by understanding and speaking the language of the business!

While many books narrowly focus on today's hot editing system or this month's favorite camera, May uses lessons learned during twenty-five years in the television business to drill down to the most important stuff: the principles that don't change, and the tricks behind making videos that document, entertain, train, motivate, persuade, satisfy, and have the ability to make money!

Includes tips on how to:

Pick the proper equipment to match your needs
Identify projects for fun or profit
Plan, prepare, budget, and avoid common and costly mistakes
Visualize and script better stories
Improve your lighting, sound recording, and camera work
Frame more compelling shots
Shoot logical sequences
Set up special effects
Capture live drama and even mouth-watering food shots
