    At one time the readers of this book might well have been specialists, but that is no longer the case, and this book must be suitable for a wider audience. Naturally, all of the new technologies are included here, but there is one thing that is not new, and that is the approach that this book has always taken, which is to approach complex subjects a step at a time from straightforward beginnings. To suit a wide range of readers, some of the more complex subjects have been separated out into essays, and some of the key topics have been highlighted.

    WHAT IS THIS BOOK ALL ABOUT?

    This book was designed to provide you with the basics of video production
    in an easily digested form. It covers the production process and techniques
    involved in transforming ideas in your head into an effective presentation on
    a screen.

    The knowledge you develop by reading this book will provide a solid foundation
    for video projects and future studies. We are concentrating on the practical
    features of video production so that you achieve worthwhile results right from
    the start, whether you are using a simple consumer camcorder or professional
    equipment. This book will help you get the best out of your equipment. When
    the highest level of equipment is shown, adapt the concepts to the level you
    are working at.


    WHO IS THE BOOK WRITTEN FOR?

    We designed this book for anyone who wants high-quality videos on a modest
    budget. The book was developed to help the beginner in video production
    learn the right way to a video, whether in a class or working on your own.

    It is especially helpful for entry-level and medium-level television production
    courses and workshops. This text does not assume that you have any type of
    technical background or any previous experience—or that you are really interested
    in the nuts and bolts of equipment.
