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.
