Product Description

"Complete Guide to Digital Video" takes readers from beginner to expert, whatever their level of ambition. It's the shooting script for aspiring Spielbergs, both young and old, covering the basic techniques of shooting, lighting, editing, and publishing, all the way through to expert insider views of the video-maker's art. Falling technology prices, powerful computers, broadband Internet access, recordable DVDs and portable, easy-to-use cameras have turned the home office into a professional video studio and laptops into on-location editing suites. Digital video cameras make broadcast-quality footage an attainable goal. And when digicams are combined with desktop editing software, costing hundreds of dollars rather than thousands and thousands, whole new worlds of creativity can be explored by the amateur and semi-pro alike. Videos can now be conceived, shot and editing on the move, then posted to the web in minutes. Whether spicing up home movies or preparing professional presentations, this book gives readers the tools to create great-looking movies.
