Description
The economics and hierarchies of film-making are about to change beyond recognition, thanks to the arrival of digital technology. Handheld digital cameras can now eliminate the expense of film stock and processing and, as they also eradicate the need to change lenses and lights, they significantly reduce the number of crew members required on a shoot. The author explains how to script scenes, frame shots, capture sound, talk to actors and even apply makeup. He also demystifies camcorder technology. Once he's explained how to get your scenes on tape, the book tells how to convert them to PC format.
