Reviews
^BStarred Review^R Updated for the digital age, this 2nd edition provides the bases for a high school video production course. Starting with the basics of video camera and microphone operation, then building in the skills of audio mixing, storyboarding, and scripting, the books progress naturally to more advanced film projects....Given the price, completeness, and up-to-date equipment, this is a must-buy to recommend to to your TV production teachers. Highly Recommended.—Library Media Connection
