Video Basics

About this book

Reflecting the latest from real-world practice, VIDEO BASICS, 8th Edition, by Emmy award–winning producer, director, and innovator Herbert Zettl delivers the most authoritative, current, and technically accurate guide to video production available. Concise yet thorough, the text moves you quickly from video concepts and processes to production tools and techniques, and -- ultimately -- the production environment (studio and field, indoors and out) and its effects. A more conceptual framework helps you progress from the idea (what to create) to the image (how to create) on video. In addition, the accompanying MindTap digital experience helps you ensure your course success with a range of interactive study tools.
